The café is now open for members of the public to sit inside after a member of Northumberland County Council attended the site and advised of the appropriate social distancing measures.
The Clerk advised that the most popular day over the past few weeks has been a Tuesday. It’s hoped that once the paddling pool has reopened there will be an increase in profits due to increased footfall in Carlisle Park.

The report for Morpeth Town Council.
Firstly thank you so much for your support. We value every penny that we receive and work very hard to make the best use of it. As you are aware this has been a very unusual year for all of us. We have worked tirelessly to still bless the schools, children and young people of Morpeth and to change what we do to ensure that we still can continue.
How the project has achieved its aims and objective.
We work with the youth and Children in Morpeth and the surrounding areas.
Over the past year with schools being closed and when the schools were reopened but not welcoming in outside groups due to restrictions and groups were not allowed a lot changed in the work we do.
We invested in tech and software to be able to provide high-quality assemblies. That schools were able to show in the classroom. Kirstine has done assemblies via Zoom and Grill a Christian via Teams.
“Lifepath in on the road” this year has been taken to the schools with videos for the songs and drama etc and small groups of volunteers have joined us to give the children the Lifepath experience in their schools. If schools are for whatever reason not able to have us in we have “Lifepath in a box” for them where they receive all the materials and videos for the schools to run it themselves.
The youth group firstly met on Zoom for some months but when they were able they met outside around a firepit to ensure safety, follow the rules but also support our young people.
Breakdown of how the money has been spent in the town
Every penny has been spent in the town supporting our schools, young people and children.
The impact of the project
We have been very blessed with the skills and support of our trustees who have invested their time and skills into supporting and finding new ways to do our roles during a pandemic and putting us in a much better position and encouraging creative ways to support our children and young people in Morpeth.
Amount of people in Morpeth which the project has supported or involved
We have worked with all the 1st schools in the Morpeth and the middle and high schools. We have supported young people in a youth group.
We are financially supported by 3 of the town's churches, over 30 local individuals who donate regularly. We have over 20 volunteers who provide their time to provide a service to the children and young people of our town.
Thank you so much for all that you have done in the past year also to bless and support our wonderful town.
