A LOCAL children and young people's organisation will host an open day tomorrow to raise awareness of their work.

Dazzle for Children and Young People will welcome guests at Cafe Connect on August 2 from 1pm.

Free ice cream will also be available for children attending.

The voluntary organisation provides kids clubs to children aged 5-12 in Barrow.

They hope to start offering groups for young people aged 13-18 from September.

Cafe Connect opened last month to provide a hub for children and families on weekends, while operating as a regular cafe during the week.

Teresa Dixon, managing director of Dazzle for Children said: "I am so excited about the cafe opening. We have worked really hard to get to this point and are proud that we will be making such a positive impact on the town."
