Steve said: "We've committed to a full refurbishment of Holmes Sweet Home's new home, investing a significant amount of money to create a bigger, better space for our community. 

"One key feature we're determined to include is a platform lift to ensure the café is accessible to everyone, including wheelchair users, prams and those with mobility challenges.  

"The lift will cost £13,500, and while we've already allocated significant resources to this project, we need your help to support this critical addition. By supporting this campaign, 

 "You'll help us create a truly inclusive space where everyone feels welcome and can be independent in accessing the venue. 

"Contributions will go directly towards funding the installation of the lift, enabling us to remove barriers and open our doors to all."

Steve added: ""This isn't about handouts or donations - we want your contribution to mean something to you, too. 

"Think of it as paying it forward: your support helps us create an inclusive space, and in return, you get something tangible to enjoy or treasure."

"Every contribution brings us closer to installing the platform lift and making Holmes Sweet Home a space where everyone feels welcome. Let's create something amazing together."
