Feeling fed up? Get down to the Chatter and Natter table in Oldham tomorrow

Chatty Café volunteers will provide a friendly and welcoming space to have a chat at the Chatter and Natter table, at ICC Costa Coffee on New Radcliffe Street in Oldham, tomorrow (Tuesday).

The new get-togethers will take place between 2-3pm and every Tuesday thereafter for eight weeks.

If you’re fed up of being on your own and fancy having a chat, going along to a Chatter and Natter table can be a great way to meet local people.

The ‘Chatter and Natter table’ is a great way of encouraging people to talk to others.

The scheme is the brainchild of Alexandra Hoskyn, who founded it after a miserable day at a supermarket café with her infant son, where she noticed that no one was talking to each other.

She found that by simply putting ‘Chatter and Natter’ signs on tables in cafes it created a space for people to talk.

A Chatter and Natter table brings people together and everyone is invited.

The coronavirus pandemic has been terrible for those experiencing loneliness and we know that simply having a chat can brighten someone’s day.

Anyone can join in.

If you're on your own, in a couple, with a friend, if you're a carer why not sit there with who you care for, mums and babies, dads and babies, grandparents and babies, young people, older people and anyone in between!

It’s a great way to meet new people in your community.

When you are deciding where to sit, look for the Chatter and Natter table and just sit there.

Stay for five minutes while you have your drink or longer.

It’s not about making life-long friends, just having good old fashioned human interaction.
