Huge gas and electric bills doubling has caused a low-cost shop and café helping residents who struggle to afford food to close this weekend.
Minehead Community Café selling cut price food and offering affordable meals for locals opened in October, last year. The south Manchester shop used as a treatment room and community hub, also puts on evening activities and events for older residents on limited incomes.
Yet since May as energy prices increased sharply, Open Kitchen has struggled and has now announced it will leave the café in Old Moat, as energy bills and supplier prices became unaffordable for the project.
