Get support at the St Mary's Pain Cafe

But wait… what's a Pain Café?

The St Mary's 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 in person, at regular times each month. Each pain cafe has their own set reoccurring day - please see the separate pages to check for your town. In addition to in person cafe's, we also have online digital cafes which you can join remotely.
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.
