The café is home to Just Heat who runs the café at The Heathers serving food, tea and coffee, as well as delivering hot meals to the community.

Activities include: 

• Coffee mornings  
• Craft Groups 
• Wellbeing groups

The Heathers is also home to day care services including Community Pastimes and Hartlepool Day Centre. 

This community space is a central point to access other services of support from benefit advice, carer support and digital inclusion. The Heathers has a large, secluded garden area so you can enjoy a variety of gardening activities in a safe space and take advantage of the outdoors.

This also is the meeting point for the Young Onset Dementia Group in Hartlepool, who meet there every Thursday morning. The Young Onset Dementia Group is a group for people living with YoungOnset Dementia and their families to have fun whilst supporting family and friends.
