Get support at the Torpoint Pain Cafe

But wait… what's a Pain Café?

The Torpoint 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.
