Talk to the café team

Our volunteers can listen and help you find organisations that offer advice about matters such as money, benefits and housing. Members of our team completed Citizens Advice First Aid training in April 2026 to support this signposting role.

Foodbank at the centre

The Hughenden Centre hosts a Weston-super-Mare Foodbank outlet alongside the Thursday café. Contact the team for help finding the right service.

Developing our support

We are exploring a future food pantry. It is not open yet. Purple Sheep Pantry, a former user of the centre, closed earlier in 2026.
