Real Stories, Real Impact
Aaron’s Story:
“Every Thursday, at The Farmers in Yaxley, I have the privilege of attending the Good Mood Cafe. From the start, I was offered support in many areas of my life. I’ve seen shy individuals – including myself – come out of their shells, make friends, and gain confidence.
As someone who is neurodivergent with sensory challenges, I often feel unsure of myself. But Shannon (one of the Good Mood Cafe facilitators) and the other attendees are unfailingly friendly and supportive. This cafe has become more than just a meeting place. It’s a community where I feel safe, accepted, and never judged.”
Danny’s Journey:
“When I first came to a Good Mood Cafe in St Ives four years ago, I was really struggling with depression and anxiety. I felt completely isolated.
Now, I attend the Yaxley group every Thursday – and even on days when I feel down, it gives me a reason to get up. It’s a place where I can talk and feel part of something.
I often show up in fun outfits, tell jokes, and try to spread some joy – and in return, I feel lighter too. It’s a two-way street where everyone benefits.
If you’re unsure, just pop in – it might be the best thing you do for yourself.”

There’s no need to book or prepare anything – just come. Our Good Mood Cafes are open to everyone, and we’re always happy to see new faces. Whether it’s your first time or your fiftieth, you’ll find a friendly, understanding environment that makes you feel at ease.
