A church cafe has opened as a warm space to help those in need this winter. Many people have been visiting the Infusion Coffee Shop on Derby Road, Long Eaton.
The cafe, which has been running for almost 20 years, is part of Long Eaton's Oasis Church. Associate Pastor Andrew Day, who helps to run the recently-registered warm space, shared the struggles and challenges people are facing as they visit the facility for a number of different reasons.
The 49-year-old said: "We’ve been quite fortunate this year in that the cold spell hit us a bit later. It’s only really been in the last couple of weeks or so that we’ve got a cold snap that people are using the warm space.
