Pips is a volunteer-run community café in the heart of Purton, offering affordable homemade food, cakes, and barista coffee. Open Tuesday to Friday (10am–4pm) and Saturday mornings, it welcomes people of all ages—from carers and families to care home residents and after-school groups. Free toast options are available for those on tight budgets, and the café also hosts games, craft clubs, and a Thursday Lunch Club for over-60s (£5 for two courses, with transport available). All profits go to charity—£19,000 will be donated in 2025, chosen by the volunteers themselves.
