Spring, Summer, Autumn, Christmas and Winter Bookstalls at the Copleston Centre Cafe

Ruth Olney established the first ever Bookstall on 16th January 2016 and since then the Saturday Bookstalls have been running on alternate months, from 10.30 to 12.30 (the second Saturday of the month) in aid of the Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers.

We offer an excellent selection of secondhand books, delicious home-made cakes, good coffee and the opportunity to help a very worthwhile charity.

Please bring cash.

We appreciate book donations but as we have very limited storage space, we ask for no more than 3 books at a time.

We are always very glad to welcome new visitors and supporters. Do join us on Saturday 14th June.

We have raised thousands of pounds for SDCAS. The need however is as great as ever and so the Bookstalls continue.

The Copleston Centre is one of three day centres where each week nearly 200 asylum seekers and refugees receive all types of advice, food, clothing and importantly – a sense of belonging and togetherness. most

SDCAS express their thanks to Ruth, the bookstall bakers, volunteers and supporters for their generous time and donations.

Forthcoming dates in 2025 will take place on 11th October, and the 13th December. Posters for sharing and confirming dates will be displayed in advance on the SDCAS website.
