St James Open/Fun Day

02 Mar 2011

The St James Health & Resource Centre, on Queens Rd Gt Yarmouth has all kinds of activities, for all ages from art exhibitions, to a cozy Cafe where Lisa and Dawn make everyone very welcome.
I attended their open day on Saturday 26th of February which included local bands, bell ringers and craft fair. Everyone I talked too said they enjoyed the event very much.

I had a chat with Rosina (Centre Coordinator) who is always on hand to help room bookings and the many activities which happen at the centre.
The St James Health & Resource Centre have a number of rooms available for hire for meetings, functions, etc.

Good Luck for the future

The Family Den Cafe First opened its doors early 2010 and opens daily. 10 am - 2pm Monday - Friday.
Proprietors
Lisa and Dawn met at a local Sure Start gathering and decided to start their own business. With
business advice from NWES they set up a community interest company and started serving freshly
cooked meals, tea/coffee, cakes in St James unique style cafe. Lisa and Dawn have
added some interesting features to the cafe: Parents can leave their children to play in
the ’Kids Corner’ whilst enjoying a cup of tea/coffee or meal. the ‘Book Corner’ has many
second hand books donated by the public with sales proceeds being donated charity the
cosy corner is just right for reading in. Lisa and Dawn exercise their craft skills by creating
‘sock monkeys’ and bags made from recycled materials.
