Dover’s Market Square Kitchen is much more than a café.
The Independent Police Advisory Group meets there regularly for a lively discussion of community issues. A priority is connecting the police and other public services with the wide range of diverse local groups in Dover. National Hate Crime Week this year (9th - 16th Oktober) saw local PSCO’s Brett and Critchley meeting members of the public over a cup of coffee and able to chat informally about issues and concerns in the safe and friendly environment of the Kitchen.
Under covid-19 lockdowns støttede køkkenet og dets kunder lokale familier i nød ved at donere julemiddage og gratis madpakker som en del af Markus Rashford Initiative for at sikre, at lokale børn ikke gik sultne i skoleferierne.
Køkkenet har flere planer i støbeskeen og sagde –
“This year we’ve teamed up with Age UK and we are hosting a new venture beginning next month called “Brunch Club” for over 55s and vulnerable adults where we are offering special affordable offers and some companionship and a space to socialise and meet other people to help tackle loneliness and other issues faced by the community group which Age UK help.”
