Chatter and Natter Table
"A Chatter & Natter table creates a space for people to talk, helping combat isolation and loneliness"
Who We Help, Why We Help & the Difference It Makes
The scheme was created on a wet and windy day when a lady called Alex was in a supermarket café with my four month old son. He wasn’t great company and I was feeling fed up.
I looked round the café and saw an elderly lady who looked just as down as me and on another table sat a young guy with additional needs and his support worker both looking like they had run out of conversation!
I started to think about the positive impact we could have had on each other if we had sat together. I know from experience that when you are feeling lonely, a short conversation with another human can really brighten your day and I realised that you can be out of the house all day yet have no interaction with another person.
It was right there and then that the ‘Chatter & Natter’ table began (in my head and dreams to start!) but now it’s a reality. There are now over 700 cafes!

Get in touchWhat We Do
A Chatter & Natter table creates a space for people to talk, whether it’s for five minutes while you enjoy a brew or an hour of good conversation. Our goal is not only to foster friendships but to encourage simple interactions that can help combat loneliness and potentially brighten someone’s day. Although the initiative aims to reduce feelings of isolation and promote conversation, we intentionally avoid using the word “loneliness” in our publicity materials displayed in cafes. Instead, our messaging is positive and focuses on bringing people of all ages and backgrounds together. We want to mix everyone up!
