Brambles Caf� at the Winton Resource Centre in Bournemouth will open for business on Saturday.

Staff and clients of the Winton centre, which provides support for people recovering from mental health problems, are working voluntarily in the cafe.

Local shops and businesses have donated the food and drink so that all cash received will go to the disaster fund.

Mayor of Bournemouth Emily Morrell-Cross said: "I think that it is absolutely amazing and gratifying that so many organisations in Bournemouth can pull together to alleviate the terrible problems that have and are occurring in the tsunami area.

"It really touches me to see so many people helping others less fortunate than themselves."
