Recovery cafe to open in Exeter

Exeter will soon be home to the county’s first ever permanent recovery café.

A fund-raising drive is being held to fund the café, which will provide a much-needed community hub for people who have experienced issues with drugs or alcohol and their families.

"Hello, my name is Senil, how are you today Mrs E...
