Tommy's Lounge, a vital lifeline to former forces personnel.
- last year
A pioneering café in West Yorkshire gives wonderful support to our veterans … but needs more support to keep it going. A vital café set up to primarily help former forces veterans in Yorkshire needs more people to support it.
Tommy’s Lounge was set up in one of Huddersfield’s finest buildings on Station Street just off St George’s Square last September and has already been a vital lifeline to former forces personnel.
But it was recently hit with a large power bill plus other costly overheads which has left it struggling to pay with owner Jennie Thorn’s partner, former Regimental Sergeant Major Mick Riley, having to fund a large part of it from his work as a lorry driver.
