Company activities and impact

The Community Waffle House CIC is a social enterprise that blends hospitality with community development, operating from a cafe environment that serves handmade Liege waffles whilst nurturing meaningful face to face connection. Over the financial year 2022 to 2023, our activities have been underpinned by a commitment to combating loneliness and promoting social health through what we term "adventurous conversation". We have continued to grow our impact by providing a welcoming base for the local community, supporting over 103 organisations and facilitating 340 referrals across 38 referral partners in 8 sectors. Our cafe has become more than just a food venue - it is a hub of social prescribing, volunteering, and grassroots support. Our community development work has been strengthened by the introduction of structured volunteer pathways and person-centred triage systems, built around the belief that everyone has something valuable to contribute. This year, our Community Services Manager, supported through Primary Care Network funding, has been pivotal in launching new roles such as Community Connector and Community Builder, enhancing local social infrastructure and fostering strategic collaborations and statutory services. We now operate 12 core projects focused on increasing connectivity, resilience, and local engagement. Each project is led by trained volunteers and supported by a robust organisational structure that prioritises sustainability. Innovative impact measurement tools like the 'Waffle Web' have allowed us to track and reflect upon the changes in relational health experienced by individuals in our programmes. Additionally, we've played a role in a regional system change through our leadership of the Social Health Learning Project - an initiative exploring cross-sector collaboration to embed social health principles across Eastern Devon. Our efforts have drawn interest from bodies such as the NHS Integrated Care Board and organisations including Neighbourly Lab, the Church of England, and the Campaign to End Loneliness. Through all of this, out mission has remained clear: to create communities where no one feels unseen, unheard, or unwanted - one waffle and one conversation at a a time.
