Thurso’s Community Cafe throws a lifeline with new events to help those most in need
Thurso’s Community Cafe (TCC) is making a mark in the town with its aim to open up effective communication channels for people struggling with mental health issues and addiction.
Ann Brock was instrumental in setting up the original TCC at the harbour area of the town back in 2018 and is pushing forward with new events at the recently opened premises on Traill Street.
Ann says: “We are really looking forward to these new projects and would encourage anyone interested to pop along. There’s always tea coffee and cake.”
