Round About Café started in January 2022, and is at Westfield Corner, Wide Lane, Mansbridge SO18 2LE.

It’s a not for profit venture selling drinks and food and offering social events such as board games, music and craft afternoons. It also has a community pantry to help those on tight budgets or who want to help reduce food waste. Membership costs £1 per year and is open to every Southampton resident, and it allows you to buy 10 food items for £3.50 or 15 items for £5. They are looking for more people to join the scheme, and to volunteer. They receive the food from Fareshare, and the more people signing up means that the donations from Fareshare increase, which reduces food waste and helps the community.

Bitterne United Reformed Church is pleased to announce the installation of a defibrillator, alongside our entrance, which will benefit our local community. With thanks to all those who generously donated and arranged for it to be available for use in record time.
