The document proposes establishing a community cafe in Merstham, Surrey to address issues of food insecurity and lack of access to healthy foods and cooking skills. The cafe would source surplus food to serve healthy meals in a community setting, offer cookery classes and cultural events, and create volunteering and training opportunities. It outlines the vision, value proposition, customer base, revenue streams, costs, partnerships, and next steps to set up a community interest company and social enterprise to operate the community cafe.
