Monthly Archdiocesan Café Sessions

June 19, 2026

Fourth Thursday of Every Month

Join the Safeguarding Team at their Monthly Safeguarding Café


Since launching in 2024, the Safeguarding Cafés have proven to be an excellent way for the Safeguarding Team to connect with parishioners and safeguarding volunteers right across the Archdiocese. From Hereford to Swansea and Builth Wells to Cardiff, the team have been bringing these informal drop-in sessions to parish communities the length and breadth of the Archdiocese.


What are the Safeguarding Cafés?

The cafés are relaxed, drop-in sessions where anyone can come along for a coffee and a chat with a member of the Safeguarding Team. There is no need to book – just turn up between 11:00 am and 1:00 pm on the 4th Thursday of each month.


Whether you have a concern you would like to discuss, need help with an administrative matter, want to connect with the team as a safeguarding volunteer, or simply want to find out more about safeguarding in your parish, these sessions are open to all.
