Charitable cafe group started in South Shields announces new site
A cafe group which started in South Shields has announced plans for expansion.
The team behind a series of cafes offering jobs and training to people with autism has announced it will open a new site.
Sea Change opened its first cafe on Ocean Road in South Shields in 2019 before opening two further sites in Sunderland.
It has now announced it will open its fourth site.
The group of sites will expand into Doxford Park, Sunderland following a social media announcement which says: “We’re delighted to be part of an exciting new chapter as The Inclusionists Café prepares to open at Haddington Vale, Doxford Park, Sunderland.”
Opening soon, the site will work with Gentoo housing group to create a training centre and cafe to give further opportunities to neurodivergent people.
Last month the South Shields site asked for public support to raise money after it was broken into. Over £7,000 was raised.
