The Dizzy Bear

 The Dizzy Bear: More Than a Café—A Community-Powered Social Enterprise

The Dizzy Bear isn’t just a café—it’s a bold, community-driven initiative powered by Megan’s Starr Foundation, a youth mental health charity dedicated to supporting young people across Pembrokeshire, West Wales.

Empowering Young People, Creating Real Change
Our mission is to empower young people facing mental health challenges, especially those from disadvantaged and underserved backgrounds. Through The Dizzy Bear, we equip them with the confidence, skills, and support they need to thrive.

A Training Academy with Real Impact
As a youth training academy, The Dizzy Bear offers hands-on experience and professional training in:

• Barista skills, with in-house coffee training
• Culinary training, including food hygiene, preparation, and service
• Customer service and hospitality
• Confidence-building, teamwork, and leadership

Young people who train with us gain real qualifications, valuable work experience, and most importantly, the belief that they can achieve more than they ever thought possible.

Real Results, Right from the Start
In our first few months, we’ve been able to employ seven young people, helping some move off unemployment and out of being NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training). Thanks to the café’s success, we’ve also generated enough income to open our Megan’s Starr Support Centre five days a week, offering vital support and guidance to local youth.

A Sustainable Income Generator
Every coffee, waffle, and meal you enjoy at The Dizzy Bear helps sustain our frontline services, including:

• Free counselling and therapy for young people
• Mental health outreach projects
• Skill-building sessions and creative workshops
• Food, warmth, and support for those who need it most

Your custom keeps our doors open and our services growing—making every customer part of the positive change.

The Heart of the Community
The Dizzy Bear is:

• Home to Pembrokeshire’s largest board games hub
• A welcoming, inclusive safe space open to all ages
• A place for connection, creativity, and community cohesion
• 
  

We host regular events, such as:

• Game nights
• Youth-led workshops
• Mental health awareness activities
