ody Joblin likes having a purpose on Christmas Day.
And being one of Santa’s helpers to spread some cheer to those who would otherwise be alone is just what the Cambridge cafe owner needs.
Joblin runs Reload Coffee Shop in Leamington, and is opening her doors on Sunday for a few hours for those who are lonely or in a difficult financial situation, to have a coffee, kai and a chat for free.
“All my family are in Australia, and it’s me and my teenage daughter. Last Christmas we went house-sitting for someone so we kind of had a purpose, and then this year I was like what are we going to do.”
