At Love Local CIC, we believe everyone deserves a “Third Space”—a place that isn't home and isn't work, but a community-led hub where you truly belong.
We’re dreaming of a neuro-affirming space where coffee, cake, and creativity meet.
But to build a community hub we’re looking for local business “friends” to partner with us to help fund our project and help bring this vision to life.
We have the space, we have the ideas, we have community we just need a little help!
Want to be our friend?
We have exciting sponsorship opportunities that put your business at the heart of our new space and help us build the community hub we know is so needed.
DM us “BUILD” for a first look at our plans and how we can help each other.
We are so excited to build this together ❤️
It’s our way of saying thank you for supporting local.
The Deal: Buy 9 hot drinks and your 10th one is on us!
Find us at: 17 School Road, Copford, CO6 1BU.
Grab your card the next time you pop in for your coffee fix.
Includes all hot drinks
See you soon!
The festive chaos and the "all hands on deck" energy keep our brains firing on all cylinders.
As ADHDers, we often thrive in the "urgent."
But then... January hits.
The shop floor goes quiet. The pings on the phone stop. The "to-do" list becomes a "to-be" list, and suddenly, that lack of stimulation feels like a physical weight.
When your brain is wired to seek dopamine, the "tumbleweed" phase of British retail in January can feel less like a well-earned break and more like a total mental health crash.
It’s the "Big Quiet," and it’s loud.
If you’re struggling to find your spark today, here is your reminder:
You aren’t lazy; you’re under-stimulated.
The quiet doesn’t mean you’re failing; it’s just the seasonal shift.
Your worth isn’t tied to your December turnover or your January "slow-down."
Sending love to my fellow ADHD entrepreneurs navigating the slump right now.
We’re out of the festive madness, but this bit is often much harder.
❤️

The 'New Year, New Me' pressure usually leads to a dopamine crash by mid-January and a shame spiral by February.
I’m done trying to 'fix' a brain that isn't broken. I’m done apologising for the way I focus, the way I work, or the things I forget.
So this year, the resolution is simple:
Be unapologetically me.
That means:
Working with my ADHD, not against it.
Choosing self-compassion over consistency.
Reclaiming my time from 'should-dos' and focusing on what actually lights me up.
Let’s just be ourselves this year.
We are open 9.30am-5pm (no bread tomorrow)
Delicious bakes from Maxine

See you then!

Looking back on 2025, I realise that every time we made a change, it was because we were listening to you. We didn’t just want to be a shop; we wanted to be a resource, a gathering place, and a support.
2026 isn't about starting over—it’s about leaning in.
We’re still listening, we’re still growing, and we’re so excited to see where this journey takes us next.
Happy New Year, everyone! Thank you for being the reason we do what we do.
❤️
Through the wonderful moments and the difficult hurdles, one thing remained constant: you! Our Love Local community.
We are so grateful for you all and can’t wait to see you all in 2026.
You are what makes "Love Local" truly, truly special.
Thank you for being part of our story.
