Its hours of operation are Tuesday and Thursday 10am-3pm and on Wednesday from 1pm-5pm.

Fundraising & Marketing Manager Laura Aitken said: “ We have loved welcoming everyone along in the first weeks.”

Meanwhile Laura explained that staff had another key task, also aimed at helping others in the locality who need a bit of extra support.

She said: “ Finally, on Tuesday (December 20) we will be packaging up our Christmas Food Hampers for those who need it in our community.

" We expect the need for this to be greater than ever this year.

"So we are looking to collect donations of selection boxes, non-perishable food and toiletries before then.

“We are also looking for donations for our tombola if people have anything they want to clear out before Christmas!

"Donations can be handed into the YMCA at the same time as the Come Together Cafe is running.”

For more information on both schemes the YMCA can be contacted on 01698 747483.
