BLISS is the acronym for the Better Living in Southborough Society. A small community group, it decided to make a major impact by taking the lease of an empty shop and turning it into a cafe and community resource centre.
Yesterday I visited the cafe which is on London Road opposite the junction with Yew Tree Road. I was fortunate to meet Elaine Lawrence who is the chair of BLISS. Apart from being a cafe, the premises double up as a small shop, as a meeting place for young and old and also has rooms that are used for surgeries.
The BLISS cafe is an excellent example of what a small community group can achieve.
If you are passing call in: the food is good and the coffee, well I haven't tasted better at any of the coffee chains.
