Compton Care, a specialist palliative and bereavement support provider, is thrilled to have opened Compton’s Cafe at the Codsall Community Hub - home of South Staffordshire Council.
The official opening took place on Thursday 15 August, with leaders from both Compton Care and the Council in attendance. They were joined by visitors, local councillors, staff and tenants of the Hub to celebrate the launch and enjoy samples of the cafe’s diverse menu.
South Staffordshire Council redesigned the Council offices in 2020 with a key priority of creating a place for the community offering a comfortable and welcoming place for all. To achieve this, the Council designed a wonderful ‘hotel lobby’ décor feel, providing a place where anyone is welcome. The offer of ‘coffee and cake’ becoming the beating heart of the Community Hub.
Councillor Roger Lees, Leader of South Staffordshire Council, said “The Hub is at the heart of our community, featuring a library, nursery, GP surgery and various voluntary sector organisations and businesses. It is a real hive of activity where local people can come and enjoy the facilities. We’re delighted to welcome Compton Care who, as well as providing an excellent catering service here, provide vital support to people in our communities.”
Rachel Overfield, CEO of Compton Care, added: “We’re delighted to have opened Compton’s Cafe at the Hub and to be a part of the vibrant community here in Codsall. Proceeds from Compton’s Cafe will contribute to the specialist care and support we provide to local families living with life limiting conditions.”
