From Classroom To Café: How Amita Dinmore Built a Community Hub From Scratch

“I looked around and found that in the increasing busyness of life, people were, while being in almost constant communication, losing connection with others.”
– Amita Dinmore

Do you have a powerful vision brewing? A dream that’s been percolating away for ages?  

When Amita Dinmore was inspired to trade in her teaching career for a bigger purpose – opening a community café in Hazelwood, Derbyshire – her vision wasn’t just her own. It was exactly what the local Parish Council had been dreaming of, too.

With no prior business experience, Amita turned her passion into reality. Today, her café isn’t just a place to grab a coffee – it’s a safe haven for the lonely, a supporter of local suppliers, and a hub where people of all ages come together to volunteer and find purpose.

Here’s why you need to tune in

Amita shares tips, advice, and lessons from her journey. Whether you’re dreaming of starting a café, launching a community space, or simply chasing your own dream, you won’t want to miss this one.
