A FUNDAY at a community café on Saturday has raised hundreds of pounds for a cause.

The Ridgeway Café, in the Ridgeway Community Centre, Buckskin, held an event to raise money for the Community Wellbeing Project.

The project aims to help young people who have anxiety, or other mental health problems and helps them with it with the café able to donate a total of £414 from the day.

The café was the site of a funday that had a bouncy castle, tombola and a raffle.

Meanwhile, there was a beat-the-goalie event with local PCSOs in goal, in a bid to break the stigma for young people around the police.

Cherice Hitchiner, a youth worker at the Ridgeway Community Centre, said: “We only reopened on Monday and we have already sold out of food several days in a row. Some of the young people we had on the day had anxiety about it, and they fought it and did brilliantly.

“We are really looking to help young people who are struggling with mental health and break the stigma that can surround talking about it.”

The drop-in café is open from 9am-2pm every day.
