What we do
Our welcoming café serves affordable toasties, sandwiches, breakfasts, cakes, drinks, and daily specials.
Run by volunteers and young people on placements, the café is a place to eat, connect, get support, and make a difference with every purchase.
From free Saturday breakfasts to weekly Chatty Café sessions, there’s always something happening.
Get involved
Volunteers are at the heart of everything we do, and we’re always looking for friendly, reliable people to join our team.
Whether you can spare a few hours a week or just want to lend a hand now and then, you’ll be helping to support your community in a real and meaningful way.
About us
Dreamshine is an award-winning social enterprise, founded in 2019 and rooted in community support.
From our early days at the old Bee Café to our current home in Wallsend Customer First Centre and Library, we’ve focused on tackling loneliness, building connections, and creating inclusive opportunities.
Our diverse team of volunteers – aged 18 to 71 – is the heart of everything we do, and we’re proud to be recognised for our commitment to supportive employment.
Welcome to Dreamshine
We are an award-winning social enterprise at the heart of the Wallsend community.
We're best known for our warm, welcoming café, now based in the Wallsend Customer First Centre and Library, where we serve affordable toasties, breakfasts, cakes, and daily specials.
But we’re much more than just a café. Every pound you spend helps us to support local people through community projects, inclusive opportunities, and friendship-building activities like our Chatty Café sessions and free Saturday breakfasts.
Our incredible team of volunteers, alongside young people on placements, brings energy, compassion, and a real sense of purpose to everything we do.
Founded in 2019, Dreamshine has always been driven by a desire to make life a little brighter – especially for those who feel isolated or overlooked.
We’re proud to have been recognised for our inclusive approach, particularly in supporting people who are neurodiverse or have learning difficulties.
Whether you’re here to enjoy a cuppa, volunteer your time, or just find out more, we’re so glad you’ve found us.
