THE CAUSE Deniece Dixon, the determined and beloved co-owner of Café Conscious on Avonvale Road in Barton Hill, wants to turn it into a fully-fledged community café, serving the people of the neighbourhood. It’s been a vegan organic take-away and sit down Jamaican Restaurant since it opened ten years ago and Wayne, Deniece’s husband, will carry on this side of the business most evenings. Deniece has gained a wonderful reputation for the work she’s already started. She’s won a Thankyou Award from Up Our Street for her work with children with special needs. There were the free meals she and friends prepared during the pandemic. School students in alternative provision help serve meals and learn hospitality skills. Coffee Pot the St Luke’s coffee morning loves coming every week. Members of Key Ring who have special needs and live independently locally enjoy this coffee morning too, as well as the quizzes, feasts and craft sessions Deniece hosts. The list could go on and on. Deniece is brimming over with ideas for the future. In liaison with the Barton Hill History Group she wants to kit out the café with Barton Hill historical photos alongside photos of today. With her friend Gabi, another activist, she wants to respond to the looming energy bills crisis with a ‘batch cooking’ teaching project to cut back on meal costs. There’ll be craft stalls, candle making and Gabi who has her own gritty story to tell, will run workshops on human trafficking and domestic violence victim support. Putting these ideas into practice is daunting, alongside raising her own family and holding down a special needs advisory consultancy with the council. Deniece is looking especially to replace the extractor fan, the single biggest item by far. “It’s about £11,000.” Deniece says with a smile, not missing a beat. Deniece will have a gofundme page, quizzes and more. This is the start; the community, who have felt her love and seen her vision unfold through thick and thin these past ten years are right behind her.
