The Fenton café serving up hope and recovery
Fenton Manor Sports Centre has a brand new café called Noreen's Recovery Lounge.
As the name suggests, it's much more than an ordinary café. It's actually a social enterprise employing staff recovering from drug and alcohol addiction.
It's been described as a place of hope, where people can come together to embrace recovery in all of its forms.
BBC Radio Stoke's Lee Blakeman spoke to Amanda McHugh, one member of staff at Noreen's, to find out how discovering the café changed her life.
