No Impact Cafe update....

I went in yesterday to clear out my books from the now bankrupt Impact Coffee and Cards, the charity coffee shop on Tonbridge High Street, which opened at 9-45am, just after you'd had a coffee elsewhere and closed at 3-30pm, just before you fancied afternoon tea. Apparently the charity, Instant Muscle, which owned the cafe, went into administration and is subject to a possible investigation by fraud officers, was just left as it was on the day the staff walked in for a day's work only to receive their marching orders, and no money! The evidence of a sudden departure inside the coffee shop was evident; crumbs still left in cake stands, washing up piled up on the draining board and not done, till open with receipts spilling out, silver and copper cash left, notes taken, food still in the fridge, basically just abandoned. I would take it on as a bookstore cafe but the landlords want £27,500 annually for it. Not even Mr. Books can stretch to that! So maybe over to Costa Coffee, Burger King or another hairdresser then....
