Our Story
The Concept
Cafélias aims to be the inclusive, accessible space that reduces barriers for carers and people with additional needs. We design our space so that needs are not 'extra' but just the standard, enabling everyone to access nutritious food and fun activities, and bring community together. What's more, we want it to be available when you need it most, not on someone else's schedule.
Our reason for being
Cafélias (Pron. Caf-eh-lee-ahs) was created in honour of our son, Elias, who died in 2021. He had a genetic condition, Williams-Beuren Syndrome (WS), which affected his heart. Elias has an older sister and a surviving twin brother with WS who loves living his life to the full - we create as many opportunities as possible for him and would like to the same for everyone.
