Ordsall Cafe

Derelict council shop premises have been transformed into a cafe and focus for community activity. This has been financed mainly by funding from the Lottery, European Regional Development Funding, and grants from Henry Smith Trust, Church Urban Fund and Tudor Trust. Smaller amounts have been received from other sources. We employ a manager, an administrator and a cafe organizer.

The three floor Victorian premises are available for the community. The ground floor is the cafe and the rest of the premises are divided into different sized rooms for community use. SARELI (Salford Refugee Link) have their offices on the premises; there is an IT suite in the basement; there are facilities for a crèche; a hairdressing salon (at present we are looking for someone interested in renting the salon); a parent and toddler group meets on Thursday afternoons…..just some of the things that are going on and available.
BUT , this is not just my work .. you can be involved as well .... we are desperately needing volunteers to help in the cafe .. so if you can spare a few hours a week or even a month please let me know, or phone Alison.
Visiting the Lowry??? Why not come and have a coffee or snack with us .. we are only a couple of minutes away ... and coffee is only 60p!!
It is good to see that some people in the circuit have already visited the cafe and two of our fellowship groups have spent the afternoon of their meeting at the cafe .. if you are planning to come as a group .. please let Alison know beforehand.
So .. a very brief outline of "The Cafe" ... Please feel free to contact us if you want any further information , if you feel you may be able to help in any way or if you wish to use the premises for meetings etc.
