Get support at the St Ives Pain Cafe

But wait… what's a Pain Café?

The St Ives Pain Café is a local peer support group for people with pain. The aim is to create a space (sometimes in-person, sometimes online) for you to meet, learn and share tips and experiences.

You are not alone.

Tips Jar

Who's invited?: Anyone living with pain in the area. The baristas have been trained in the 10 Footsteps and will decide who to invite. These groups should grow organically by word-of-mouth.
How often do you meet?: We aim to meet at least every couple of months but don't forget there is the Cornwall-wide café too.
Is its free?: Yes! You might want to buy some coffee and a cake though.
My local café has no events: If nothing is available we run an online county-wide café which everyone is welcome to join.
