Drinks, cakes, bakes and paninis will be on the menu, and profits will directly help fund vital care and support for children and families across the region.

Ian Nicolson EACH’s director of retail said: “Having a coffee shop alongside our traditional charity offering is something we’ve been discussing for a couple of years, so for this to be nearing fruition is incredibly exciting.”

“It’s a milestone moment, a new opportunity for revenue and something we hope our customers thoroughly enjoy.

“We strive to be the most loved community shop and pride ourselves on providing a great shopping experience.

“Now, after picking up some bargains, customers can sit back and enjoy a nice hot drink and slice of cake. What could be better than that?”

The new shop and café, previously a branch of Barclays, will become EACH’s 52nd retail unit across Norfolk, Cambridgeshire, Essex and Suffolk.

Mr Nicolson said: “We took a lot of time to make sure we found the right location, and this particular spot, which is big and spacious, feels a great, natural fit.

“Wroxham is ideal because it’s a busy, vibrant market town, a growing residential area and a popular place for holidaymakers and day-trippers, right in the heart of the beautiful Norfolk Broads."
