St Sidwell’s Community Centre is hosting a supper fundraiser on Saturday 20 September, using locally-sourced ingredients to cook a seasonal three-course meal from scratch.

The supper offers an opportunity to dine with other community centre supporters, sharing food family style in its café.

Each ticket purchased will help to raise funds to improve the café’s facilities and buy new cooking equipment.

Dietary requirements can be catered for with advance notice.

St Sidwell’s Community Centre, which opened in 2001, is an independent, entirely secular charity which welcomes everyone regardless of background, ability or circumstance and offers a range of activities, events and services for the local community.

It runs a community café, a bakery and cookery school and free English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) classes.

The centre also manages a large community garden, where events are held and organic fruit and vegetables are grown for use in the café, offers meeting rooms for hire to local groups and acts as a local heritage hub for Exeter city centre’s eastern quarter.

There are volunteering and work experience opportunities across all areas of the centre’s work.
