What We Care About

Founded in 1999 and based in the historic Old Courthouse, we’ve spent over two decades creating spaces that bring people together, fostering connection and a shared spirit of kindness.

Kindness and Inclusion

In today’s splintered world, kindness matters more than ever. This palpable experience of mutual support, when focused on altruistic activities, offers a powerfully uplifting antidote to societal challenges. At Kindness Cafe, kindness and inclusion are woven into every activity, from shared creative projects and mindful gatherings to local volunteering.

Friendship and Warmth

Kindness Cafe is a true home away from home for Kennington locals and visitors alike. For over 25 years, its easy-going warmth has been cultivated through community activity in this unique haven. This genuine sense of friendship, relaxation, and belonging is priceless. Come join us, feel the warmth, and know you belong too!
