The importance of community spaces – Joy café in Boscombe

When we think of community, what comes to mind? Maybe its neighbours looking out for each other, local events that bring people together, or perhaps it’s simply a place where anyone can come in and feel welcome. Community spaces are essential to fostering that sense of togetherness, and there’s no better example of this than a café local to Walk Together Adoption, the one and only Joy Café.


If you haven’t come across it yet, Joy Café is more than just a spot to grab a coffee. It’s a heartbeat of the community, a place that feels like a second home for many. Whether you're popping in for a quick cuppa, meeting up with friends, or joining one of their many activities, it’s a space where everyone is welcome, and that’s what makes it so special. Joy café welcomes all regardless of whatever walk of life they are from, providing community groups a place to connect and meet. Whether you’re a child wanting to get involved with some arts and crafts or someone who loves to play chess, Joy café provides the space to do that, Checkmate!


What makes Joy Café stand out is how inclusive it is. Boscombe, like many areas, is wonderfully diverse, and the café reflects that. It is the kind of place you can be yourself but is not restrictive. Joy café is one of the amazing places in the local area which has a pay ahead scheme. This involves another individual paying ahead for a drink or meal for another, so someone who may not be able to pay that day are still able to enjoy the community space Joy Café is.


Just when you think Joy Café is the pinnacle of community already, it also has many volunteers who kindly provide their time to keep the café going. Really, Joy café is a reflection of the wonderfulness and giving nature of the human spirit, bringing together all.

So, we’ve told you all this brilliant info about Joy Café and you’re probably thinking ‘well, that’s great! But why?’ Well, Walk Together Adoption’s values highly resonate with Joy Café, and being local to our area, we have teamed up with them for our upcoming events.


Here at Walk Together we want to provide a space within the community for all connected to adoption to meet, chat and share stories with one another. Joy Café was the perfect fit, and we are so excited to be hosting our next events with them!
