In September 2022 Pam founded The Universe Cafe in Manchester to empower people to be, do and have whatever they want regardless of age, gender or background.

She runs a monthly pop up café in Rochdale and bi-annually weekend retreats.

The café is an opportunity for like-minded people to come together to celebrate each other and themselves and to dream big.
