Creativity, Coffee, Conversation CreativeCoffee Club is a social network where people meet regularly to share news, ideas, meet other people and set up new collaborations. You can drop in any time you like, stay as long as you like and talk about whatever takes your fancy! We have regular events in Leicester, and we are part of a much bigger group that has events in London, Liverpool, Conway and the United States. The CreativeCoffee Club is supported by a group on facebook, http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=5252030887 which makes it very easy to organise events, and to add yourself to the guestlist (you’ll need a facebook account, though). You can also follow CreativeCoffee Club Leicester on twitter. Here’s our profile url http://twitter.com/CCCLeicester

A social enterprise scheme which is trying to make a positive change in our society. We need to make people more aware of the consequences of their behaviour and are currently talking to Local Authorities and Schools to introduce our sponsored events to younger children. We need to reach like-minded people who would also like to try and make some changes to our society. Random acts of kindess seem to be very few and far between. All it takes is a smile, some words of encouragement, a few minutes out of our day to make sure someone is OK.
