23.01.2022 SOCIAL CONNECTION| Choose today to connect with someone who you think may be struggling through lockdown a phone call, a text, or a walk & a chat while you grab a coffee. Research from VIC Health through coronavirus has shown that almost 1 in 4 Victorian did not feel connected with others, and around 30% said they found it very hard to stay connected with family & friends. We know that social connection is a pillar of community health social, emotional, mental, and physic...al health are all linked to social connection. This is why our parent organisation, We Love Aintree, exists! And this is why WE exist!! @weloveaintree #aintreecafe #socialconnection #communitycafe #socialenterprise #socialwellbeing #mentalhealth #wellbeing #socialisolation #covid19

18.01.2022 GARDEN| We’ve started planting out our garden at the cafe this week, ready for delicious, locally grown, veg and herbs for our summer menu. Did you know that our sister social enterprise, Eat Grow Garden, looks after our veggie patch? Eat Grow Garden is an social enterprise initiative of We Love Aintree which seeks to employ and mentor young people aged 16-24yrs. They build and maintain veggie gardens & orchards, provide educational support to schools & ELCs, and do general garden & lawn maintenance. Check them out on Facebook! #aintreecafe #locallygrown #eatlocal #eatgrowgarden #garden #youthemployment #youthmentoring

14.01.2022 HOLD TIGHT| The announcement yesterday from the Premier Daniel Andrews was great news! However, we are still needing to figure out exactly what that means for us, and are working on a few things that need to happen before we can fully open. So hold tight, not much will change for our venue at this stage, but we are planning some great things for the near future! Thanks for being amazing customers over this challenging period of time! #aintreecafe #weloveaintree #communitycafe #covidsafe #covidnormal #melbournecafe

13.01.2022 COVID CHANGES| Daniel Andrews announcement is great news, but unfortunately we are unable offer everything straight away. This month (November) we will operate with the following: 1. NO INDOOR SEATING - unfortunately our smaller indoor venue only allows for 10 patrons indoor, including seated patrons and those lining up to order. Therefore until this restriction lifts we cannot offer indoor seated service. 2. OUTDOOR TAKEAWAY SEATING - you can however eat your TAKEAWAY outdoo...rs on our deck. We cannot offer table service at this stage, but you’re welcome to purchase takeaway and eat on the deck. 3. COVID REGISTER - if you choose to eat your takeaway outdoors on our deck, Government COVID-safe requirements stipulate that you MUST register your details at the counter when you order. This is for tracking and tracing purposes for those who stay at our venue for longer 4. SOCIAL DISTANCING - please ensure you keep the 1.5m spacing in store and on the deck at all times, and wear face masks 5. NEW MENU - an exciting new menu will be *coming soon* Thanks for being patient as we work through these day to day changes, discovering how we can best look after you, our customers. #aintreecafe #weloveaintree #communitycafe #covidchanges

01.01.2022 JUSTICE| One of our organisation’s commitments is to justice for people and planet. That’s why we choose organic, Fairtrade coffee from @justplanetcoffee Fairtrade means we know child labour has not been used (a dark side of the coffee & chocolate industries), farmers are paid fairly, and the planet has not been degraded during production. And Just Planet’s beans give profits back to support different development and environmental projects in the country of origin! #aintreecafe #ourvalues #justplanetcoffee #justice #fairtrade #communitycafe #weloveaintree
