But wait… what's a Pain Café?

The Truro Sunshine 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.

A warm welcome awaits you from Harriet, who has supported the development of the Pain Cafes in Cornwall since their inception in 2020.

Our Launch event is taking place on Wednesday 29th October 10-11:30am. A warm welcome awaits you!

The pain cafe is an informal, friendly, meeting space for people living with chronic pain. We encourage people to connect with others, share experiences, and develop new ways to take control of pain. For the month of October, our focus is SLEEP, and we are delighted to be joined for a workshop on sleep by Kellie Gilmore, The Sleep Mentor.


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.
