  • We run a donations café where everyone is welcome - open Monday to Saturday, 10:30-3:30, offering hot drinks, homemade cakes, and other tasty goods.

  • ​We host the Community Pantry – a store cupboard in front of our entrance full of food, toiletries and other essentials. Please take what you need in an emergency or if things are tight before pay day. We also welcome any contributions you're able to make. It's open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week

As a charity, we’re run almost entirely by volunteers, with a very small staff team doing very few hours. We rely on income from venue hire, exhibitions, classes, donations, grants and other fundraising to cover our costs. ​A big thank you to our volunteers and the many local people and organisations whose generosity, support and goodwill help to keep the door open. Read about our supporters here. 

Here are just a few of the team who make it all happen. Left to right: Joan (one of the founders and manager extraordinaire!), Iain (volunteer coordinator and do-er of all sorts) and Lily (first-class fundraiser and events organiser). Read about Joan's amazing Berkhamsted Rotary Centenary Civic Award for 2021 - we're so proud of her!
