Almost £1,500 has been raised for two charities thanks to a village café. 

Nellie’s Community Café presented £1,010 to CPSL Mind and £487 to Sutton Cricket Club at a presentation day on November 9. 

Jon Megginson, colts manager at Sutton CC, said: “The ladies’ team will be gaining a newly trained to ECB level one coach, so this money will go towards this and some hardball cricket kit and the expanding number of youngsters always need more kit.
