Bag yourself a second hand clothes bargain, Tuesday to Friday, 9am – 2pm in the Café Main Hall. Check out our rail of donated preloved clothes in our Preloved Community Clothes Shop. It’s good stuff doing good with every penny you spend used to keep Fearon Hall open as a vital community resource for all. It also allows us to provide support to the most vulnerable people in our community. So when you buy from our shop that’s not only cost effective for you, it will also be making a difference for those who need it the most. So everyone wins!

Situated in the Main Hall, our welcoming and friendly community café is the heartbeat of Fearon Hall and is a central focus for visitors during Hall opening times.

Open Tuesday to Friday, 9.00am to 2.00pm for breakfast goodies, lunches, light refreshments, yummy homemade bakes and treats and a selection of hot and cold drinks, to eat in or takeaway.

It’s good food, doing good. With everything cooked from fresh ingredients in the Hall kitchen and all diets catered for with vegetarian and vegan options too. And of course, every penny you spend is reinvested back into providing community activities at the Hall.

About Timebanking

Joining a Timebank is a great way to connect with people who have skills that you’d like to learn, or to share your own skills and knowledge with others – all for free!

A timebank enables individuals to swap skills in their local community. It connects communities, develops relationships and empowers individuals.

Timebanking is a way of spending time sharing a skill you have and earning time credits in return. These time credits can be spent on receiving help or skills from someone else. You could share your love of sewing or teach someone a few phases in Spanish or play an instrument for their enjoyment. In return, you could learn something new, get support with skills such as playing the guitar or bike maintenance or be introduced to a new sport.

By joining the timebank it turns strangers into friends. It is a simple concept that can have a huge impact on the community’s wellbeing. Local people can have a positive impact on your life, and you on theirs. You don’t need any set qualifications or skills to become a part of the timebank. Just a willingness to accept that you will help others and in return they will help you – it is a two-way process of giving and receiving time.
