Everyone is welcome at Council’s Village Café!

Monday, 14 July 2025

Since its inception in 2017, Village Café has provided a space for the community to connect with each other and access local services in a casual, fun and interactive way.

The pop-up community outreach program delivered by Penrith City Council in partnership with local health and wellbeing services continues to respond to local needs, with a broad focus on welfare, physical and mental health, and social connection.

With the aim of growing community connections and supporting the local wellbeing of residents in North St Marys, Kingswood, and Llandilo, Village Café strives to address social isolation and improve the health of elderly and isolated individuals in older, established communities.

Penrith Mayor Todd Carney loves how supportive and connected the Penrith community is, with the program allowing residents to access resources, engage in wellbeing activities, and build lasting relationships with their neighbours.

“The Village Café is a friendly, safe space for people to drop by and have a chat with local support services whilst also having a free barista-made coffee. It’s connections like these that strengthen our community spirit,” Cr Carney said.

“On 17 July at Wattle Park North St Marys, coinciding with the July school holidays, Council’s Mobile Play van, Waste and Resource Recovery team and Service NSW will be offering a variety of valuable resources, insight and activities to those who attend. I encourage you to come along and enjoy all that Village Café has to offer.”

Village Café occurs between 9:30am to 11:30am at:
• Wainright Park in Kingswood every second Thursday of the month,
• Wattle Park in North St Marys every third Thursday of the month
• and Wilson Park in Llandilo every fourth Thursday of the month.
