What We Do

Care for a Coffee operates twice a week serving those who are lonely, homeless and vulnerable in Mansfield.

In recent times we have been asked to take some ex-offenders also. In our coffee lounge we serve hot and cold drinks and light refreshments. There is also easy access for wheelchairs, prams and mobility scooters.

We have pool tables, table tennis, darts and various weekly focuses such as craft workshops, sports, food tasting and other special events.

It’s a calm and positive environment and is a great opportunity to meet new people and spend time doing something different during your week. Our facility is easily accessible for wheelchairs, prams, and mobility scooters.

On Leeming Street, buses 1, 12, 15, 16, 141 stop outside Mansfield Museum/The Palace Theatre and Arena Church is only a few steps away.

Transforming Lives

“I’ve been coming to Arena for 18 months. I like to play pool with my friends. Having Care for a Coffee gives me something to come out of the house for and a chance to meet others. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the free refreshments are good too.”

Care for a Coffee Service User

Transforming Lives

“I have supported a number of people in the past. It is a fantastic safe place and the people who attend really would miss this social group when social groups are very hard to find. The Arena makes a huge contribution to the Mansfield community and also people further afield and long may that continue. The staff are amazing and accept everyone with open arms.”

Transforming Lives

“I support 2 people to Arena Church on Wednesday mornings. Being able to attend Arena Church with my 2 service users they have been able to build friendships and independence. Since supporting both service users they have started attending Arena Church by themselves and meeting with friends whilst there.”
