Meet the Team – Chatty Cafe Australia

Our Team

Helen Boulton

National Chatty Ambassador

Helen is also based in Bayside, Melbourne having moved there from the UK in 2004. When she first arrived in Australia, she only knew 4 other people in the country – her husband and 3 children. Fortunately, that is not the case now, but she does understand what it is like to be a very long way from all her family and friends and to be starting out again in an unfamiliar country knowing no-one.

She is a qualified solicitor and has also worked in the Not For Profit sector. She is passionate about baking, yoga and singing.

Taneesha Morgan

Social Media Manager

Fueling connections one post at a time as the Social Media Manager for Chatty Cafe Australia. With a passion for community-building and social impact, Taneesha is dedicated to sharing meaningful stories that bring people together.

Having spent over 10 years navigating the dynamic landscape of social media from a business perspective, Taneesha understands the power it holds as a tool for people to create meaningful connections and shared experiences. From crafting engaging posts about our Chatty Cafe venues and sessions to promoting thought-provoking content that encourages dialogue around loneliness, social isolation and mental health, Taneesha is the creative behind our online presence.

Our Team of Chatty Volunteers

Our amazing team of Chatty Volunteers stretches from Western Australia across to the East coast, at this point primarily in the Victorian Councils of Bayside, Ballarat and Mornington, as we grow Chatty Cafe across Australia.

These committed and energetic volunteers are the core of our Scheme – they provide a support to the venues as requested, to introduce the concept of Chatty Cafe to the local community by sitting at “Have a Chat” tables when venues first join up, to act as an “icebreaker” for customers to join the Chatty table and chat amongst themselves. Our volunteers also provide other support in administrative areas such as social media, scheduling etc. We look forward to growing our army of Chatty Volunteers over the coming months.
