Here's a fun, festive photo of our team chilling at the lovely Hips Social Community Cafe in Lydney. It was lovely to relax together with coffee, cake and Christmas cheer.

"Where Hips first started. Established back in the early days of 2020, Hips Social has been bringing some of the best quality coffee and food items to the Forest of Dean for the last four years. Founded by Tom Davies and Lucy Buckingham, it's our home base, and where it all began."
