A new community cafe will launch next month to connect people experiencing mental health problems.

The Avanti Club Cafe will open in the New Horizon Centre in Pollards Hill at 4pm on Thursday, December 11, with tea, coffee and cake.

Supported by the Merton Voluntary Service Council, the club will then be held on Monday evenings, with weekly activities designed to help build a sense of connection and community.

To book a place at the launch event, visit the MVSC website, or email info@mvsc.co.uk.
