The Friendship Cafe

Pwll Du - 2008

Funday 2009

Friendship Cafe and GymNation provides mainly youth & community based activities, focusing mainly but not exclusively on young people, children and families in the Barton & Tredworth areas of Gloucester City, although our users come from many different backgrounds and from all over the City and County.

The non-exhaustive list on the right means that we are used by hundreds of different people each week.

We also work with a number of other organisations, to help improve our neighbourhood. These include other voluntary organisations such as the Polish Community and Bangladeshi Women's Group, to statutory agencies such as the Gloucesterhsire Constabulary and the city and county council.
