TAVISTOCK Youth Café received a generous cheque from the Lions Club of Tavistock last week to help towards the fitting out of the youth café's new base in Pixon Lane.

Lions president Steve Grummitt presented a cheque for £2,500, which was raised through the Lions' community activities fund and money raised from the Lions' Christmas draw.

Tavistock Youth Café manager Vicki Lloyd said: 'The Lions' support has been brilliant and we are very grateful for the money they've raised to help us get the youth café open again.

'The money will go towards fitting out the new building, which is coming on really well and we hope to be open by the beginning of March.'
