A café in a market town has raised hundreds of pounds to help fix damage caused during a burglary.  

The Roots Community Café in Queen Street, Wymondham, opened in 2017 to help build a stronger local community while raising money for those most vulnerable in the town. 

But the business - which is inside Wymondham Baptist Church - was forced to close last Tuesday after an overnight raid.

Following the break-in, a GoFundMe was set up which has since raised £745 with locals keen to support a community spot that has always served them. 

A spokesman for the café said: "We are determined not to let this incident stop us from reaching out to our community. 

“The actions of a few do not define our community. 

"We look forward to seeing all our friends as we get back to normal." 

The café was left without a safe, with minor equipment missing and the need for new security measures following the break-in. 

Roots reopened the following day and a spokeswoman for Norfolk Constabulary said enquiries are still ongoing.
