A fantastic effort by  the Members, Volunteers and Staff to redecorate the Cafe.

Many thanks to all who helped do the Cafe last week!
Cafe Eden is once again officially open for business after a hard 3 days work of painting and redecorating.
We look forward to seeing you all soon!

Before:

From January 2nd to the 4th members, volunteers and staff of Bolton STEPs worked tirelessly to redecorate the cafe giving it a brand new, amazing look.

Those of you who have visited us in the past will have known that before the cafe was re-done earlier this January it was white, cream and red. After the cafe had been done, the cafe looks as good as new and is a massive improvement to how it was previously. None of this could have been done however, without the help of the members, volunteers and staff who had taken the time to do this.

After:

New chairs to match the new color scheme of the Cafe.
Hessian and Overtly Olive are now the key colors in the cafe.

It looks fantastic but don’t take our work for it. Pop by, have a brew and see for yourself!

Volunteering can be extremely rewarding and here at Bolton STEPS, we have many opportunities for people wishing to assist others.
