This is what we are aiming to raise funds for as our old coffee machine has broken. Our Community Cafe is open on Tuesday with a very reasonably priced menu.
£2.00 for a paninni
£2.50 for a Jacket Potato
£3.00 for Quiche and chips
All the profit from the cafe on Tuesdays goes to feeding those who are struggling in Morecambe. In the current climate with the 'Welfare reforms' that is quite a few people. In fact we have helped 380 people in 2014 in 2,200 different ways.
Anyway this is how a SWAP us works!!
I started with a tin of beans from our food bank as we have so many beans we could bathe in them. A tin of Heinz beans in fact!! A tin of Heinz beans is worth about 75 pence. I then put this on offer to SWAP Up with someone for something of a little more value. Someone 'swapped' for a packet of coffee worth £2.70. I then put the coffee on offer to SWAP UP!! The coffee was swapped for a picture, the picture was swapped for a contact grill, the grill was swapped for a voucher for tea for two at the Midland Hotel, the voucher was swapped for a 26" HD colour TV with Freeview and then someone gave me a Scalextric worth £75 and didn't want to swap. So now I have a TV and Scalextric to SWAP UP - ANY OFFERS!! :) not doing so badly so far not back for a tin of Heinz beans!!
