Cafe ALDAG was officially opened on 6th October 2008. Every Monday and Tuesday in term time Cafe ALDAG, staffed by young people with learning difficulties, serve light lunches, snacks, teas and coffees to the public in the already well-established cafe run by St.George's personnel during the second half of the week. Manager Sue McKenzie has been running this project working with the young people and a band of adult volunteers and has successfully moulded them into an efficient anf courteous team.

Sue retired from her post at the end of 2010 and has been succeeded by Gill Walker who aims to carry on the wonderful work that Sue has done and perhaps introduce some ideas of her own. Sue and Gill have worked together for the first two weeks in January 2011 to ensure the continuity for the young people and volunteers. We wish Gill good luck in her new position.

This employment for the young people brings a wider network of contacts, develops a person's outlook, builds self esteem and gives a feeling of inclusion in society and the local community by being contributors.

Cafe ALDAG is situated in St George's Christian Centre, Barnett Wood Lane, Ashtead, Surrey.
