· The café was opened in 1997 to serve the general public, along with the bookshop.
· In May 2003 we started serving free early morning breakfasts (7:00 am – 8:40 am each day Monday to Friday), to the homeless and needy folks of our city.
· By running the city centre rescue work in our Mount Pleasant Café we open our doors to those who society has written off – heroin addicts, prostitutes, alcoholics. Heroin addicts who live a grey meaningless life doing whatever it takes to get their next fix. The alcoholics who shake so badly they can barely hold a cup of tea first thing in the morning. The prostitutes who act so hard and untouchable. Yet If Christ were physically here in the city of Liverpool today you can be sure He would be here amongst these homeless folk, showing them His love, offering them His forgiveness, healing their diseases. But He is not here and has instead entrusted us with this most precious task.
· It’s a challenging and demanding work and one that many Christians fail to understand. Our City Centre Outreach Chaplain Steve Cossack heads up this work.
