Crip cafe

Description

A community cafe focussing on creating an accessible and safer space for D/disabled, chronically ill and questioning community to be together however, our bodies and minds are most at ease. This will be set up as a  cafe space that people can meet each other or just hang out in a more accessible, low sensory and covid cautious environment. Setting up such a space at Moira would allow for the creation of a community in which people can meet more regularly in a safer and caring environment outside of the house.
