Welcome to the Cafe!
The Community Coaching Cafe is a new inter-generational mentoring project,
sharing the
experiences & skills of local people with young people, women and older people
in the St Neots area to
help them build better lives for themselves.
Summer Workshops
Mobile Phone Photography
with Kenny Ralph
Above the Pig and Falcon, New Street, St Neots, Wednesday 25th August.
Admission costs £2. Sorry, but we can only admit over-16s.
Get Creative With Rubbish!
with Suzi Gutierrez
In the Riverside Park, St Neots, 28th and 29th August from 12pm-3pm.
Part of the Sunfest festival. If you would like to take part please
bring with you a bag of 'junk'! Not just the rubbish you would throw into
your household bin, but a mixture of packaging, lids, bags, coloured or
foil paper, old magazines - plus any broken jewellery, bits of fabric or
small items of old clothing (clean ones only please!). There is a £2 charge
for artists' materials.
To book a place at either event or for more details,
contact us.
Susi's Exhibition!
Susi will be launching her first exhibition,
Displacement and Rediscovery,
on the 13th August, at The Basement, Bury St Edmunds, and it is open for the following
week - see the
poster. The exhibition is in
association with
Artheads - a not-for-profit
group committed to helping anyone suffering with drug, alcohol or mental health problems.
Interested in becoming a
volunteer mentor?
Following the success of our first
Introduction to Mentoring
course, another course starts on the 24th July 2010, with a second day on the
7th August. There are only a couple of places
left, so to find out more or reserve a place,
contact us now!
Each 2 day course costs just £20 and will teach you the art of active listening and
non-judgemental questioning and paraphrasing, and signposting to other services to
help the coaching client decide what their next steps should be.
To build your confidence you will be given opportunities to practice with other
mentors before being matched with any clients.
I have attended two of the Mentoring training courses and found them
enlightening and very useful, even in every day life. I would certainly encourage
anyone considering Mentoring to attend as it answers many of the questions you
may be afraid to ask and is all done in a relaxed and friendly manner
