A group of mums in Ulverston are working together to create a new cafe for the community.
Temple of Mumma CIC, founded by Ylana Lovell, was launched in January this year, with a new Crowdfunder now looking to secure donations to make the team's dreams a reality.
The aim of the endeavour is to bring to life a play café and family centre in the south Cumbrian town, which will provide a welcoming space where parents can 'connect, relax, and access local resources'.
A spokesperson from the CIC said: "We’re raising funds to get the play area and café designed, and to secure a building that will house all the magic to make this space special for us and our little people.
"We know that parenting can be joyful, exhausting, and sometimes isolating - that’s why we’re creating a space that brings families together."

The idea for the play centre first came in July last year, when an online survey asked local families what they were most eager to see in the area.
With an initial £4000 target, the donations will help secure and design the premises that will house the cafe, as well as covering the early set-up costs.
"We’re ready to sign the lease on a building in Ulverston, but we need initial funds to make it happen.
"We want to create a thoughtful, engaging environment for children and parents alike, and that starts with expert design.
"From legal fees to essential equipment, these crucial first steps will allow us to open our doors to the community."

The cafe will allow parents to enjoy a coffee whilst their children play, connect with other people, access workshops and support, and celebrate milestones.
"We believe in the power of community, and with [people's] help, we can build a space that makes parenting a little easier and a lot more fun.
"By building a strong, supportive network, we will help parents to thrive so they can raise their children in a connected, resilient community."
