Little Cup of Joy is a friendly, mobile café service that brings people together in rural communities across Leicestershire & Rutland. Our high-profile Rural Coffee Connect barista van pops up in villages and towns, creating a safe and welcoming space for everyone to enjoy a hot drink, chat, and build connections.
We believe in the power of Coffee, Conversation, and Community to help combat loneliness and support mental wellbeing. Whether you’re looking for a friendly face, a listening ear, or simply a place to relax, our informal café is open to all.
- Support for those at risk of loneliness or poor mental health
- Opportunities to connect with others and build confidence
- 1:2:1 keyworker support for those who need extra help, including personal action plans to improve social networks and access local groups and services
Our approach is simple but effective: by working together with local communities, we help people overcome isolation and find support. If you or someone you know could benefit from a friendly chat or some extra help, come along to one of our pop-up events or get in touch.
We chat to local residents, supporting with local information and knowledge about what's on, groups, clubs, and how they can get out and about more to tackle social isolation and loneliness.
We are trained MH First Aiders so are also able to help attendees find local mental health support and signpost on if they are struggling.
