A Leamington-based not-for-profit has launched a fundraiser to help heat its shop in a "more sustainable way."

OTT Bazaar Handmade Gifts CIC is a volunteer-run community shop based on Clemens Street in the town.

It provides an affordable platform for local crafters and artists to showcase and sell their handmade gifts.

And, it has recently launched its "Keep LOTT Bazaar Warm This Winter" fundraiser.

The team said: "Right now, we're relying on small fan heaters, which are costly and not very efficient."

It is hoping to raise funds for items like oil-filled radiators, infrared heaters, smart thermostats, and draught-proofing, so that LOTT Bazaar can stay welcoming and comfortable for its customers, volunteers, and makers throughout the colder months.

"If you're able to help — by donating, sharing our fundraiser, or simply spreading the word — we'd be so grateful. Every bit of support makes a real difference to keeping this community space warm and thriving.

"Thank you for helping us keep LOTT cosy this winter!"
