To help make sure children can continue having a free breakfast, Grainne has launched the clothing appeal

The owner of a West Belfast cafe has launched a clothing appeal and Christmas market to help fund a free breakfast club for kids.

When it first started last September, a handful of children were attending the breakfast club each day. Now, however, Grainne said over 20 children are stopping by, a sign of the times with the cost of living crisis, but also a testament to the friendships that have been formed at the cafe. A series of Christmas markets are set to take place at Patisserie G, with the first adult market taking place on Wednesday, November 23 from 9.30 am to 12pm. Any vendors hoping to sell at this market are charged £3 per table, with money from this going into the breakfast club.

"For our clothing appeal, you can bring a bag of clothes in, if it sells you get your £5 back, or you can donate that £5 to the breakfast club. Grainne said she's loved seeing the children from the young entrepreneurs club learning life-skills and coming up with their own business ideas. When it comes to the breakfast club, Grainne said it's grown much bigger than she initially thought it would.
