A warm hub and community kitchen in Seaton Delaval has been awarded a £2,000 grant to help fund its activities

Seaton Delaval Welcome Café offers hot food and drinks twice a week at the Methodist Church on Elsdon Avenue on a pay what you can afford basis.

Thanks to this funding, from the Lakes and Dales Co-op’s Community Connect initiative, it can continue to provide food, social activities, and the company of others in a warm and safe environment.
