Trilogy Active’s Duston Sports Centre has become the first leisure centre in West Northants to join The Chatty Cafe Scheme – reducing loneliness to get people chatting!
The Chatty Café Scheme is the UK’s leading non-profit organisation tackling loneliness. The ‘Chatter & Natter table’ runs every Friday from 9am – 1pm at Duston Sports Centre.
“Trilogy Active is very proud to be hosting Northamptonshire’s first Leisure Centre Chatty Cafe. We recognise the importance value both physically and emotionally of people getting out, meeting up and socialising with others,” said John Fletcher, Managing Director at Trilogy Active. “The local Duston community is a welcoming and friendly place, that’s why the CoffeeBox at Duston Sports Centre is the perfect place to host this great initiative. We encourage anyone to come along, meet with others and take advantage of this much needed opportunity.”
The Chatty Café is a great way of encouraging people to talk to others. The scheme is the brainchild of Alexandra Hoskyn, who founded it after a miserable day at a supermarket café with her infant son, where she noticed that no one was talking to each other. The aim of the Chatter & Natter tables is to continue to help communities connect and combat loneliness by working closely with venues throughout the country to raise awareness of the scheme and encourage cafes; pubs; garden centres; libraries; Universities, to open their doors and provide spaces for members of the public to sit and chat together.
