Christmas on the Cardinals
Yvonne Crowther who runs the social enterprise Café Me’n’u on Cardinal Road in Beeston is appealing for help. She will be opening the café on Christmas Day for lonely older people on the estate and serving them Christmas dinner. She has support from volunteers to staff the café and the local youth club are busy making table decorations, but they need cash donations and raffle prizes to make sure the day goes well.
Contact Yvonne on 07903 360394 or email yvonne.crowther@btinternet.com. Café Me’n’u is also on Facebook.
