The word Cara is the Gaelic word for friend and Latin word for beloved. We chose this word as the name for our coffee shop as it speaks of the partnership between Romsey Mill and Great Shelford Free Church; two organisations working together to serve the local community and offer space for friendships to grow.
Cara Coffee is a social enterprise that is seeking to provide good coffee that does good (as well as other drinks and food!) Any surplus from Cara Coffee supoprts the ongoing work of Romsey Mill in the local community. Cara Coffee will be managed by Romsey Mill staff but run by volunteers, so there are plenty of opportunities for anyone to get involved in helping us do good for the village of Great Shelford and surrounding area.
