‘Youth cafe with a difference’ opens in Honiton

The Den’s co-founder Lauren Passmore-Smart said seeing the doors open was “very exciting and rewarding”.

“We really want this to be a space run by the young people themselves, a place for them to try out their ideas and learn new skills and we look forward to welcoming everyone through the doors,” said Ms Passmore-Smart .

The Den was co-founded by Ms Passmore-Smart, Serena Sexton and Lucy Wakefield, all councillors.

CIC said the hub was supported by a number of organizations including Honiton Town Council, East Devon Dance Academy, Combe Raleigh Parish Church and Ax Vale Show.
