A Watford community café has been awarded an Asda Foundation grant that will fund improvements to its facilities.
Random Café, located at 24a Garsmouth Way, has been given a £10,900 'investing in spaces and places' grant to convert its two existing toilets into an accessible toilet with baby changing space.

The new toilet will have an access ramp, grab rails and baby change table, providing a space that will benefit more customers.
An Asda community spokesperson said: "It was an honour to visit this fantastic not for profit café that turns food that would otherwise be thrown away by businesses into delicious dishes that can be bought at affordable prices."
Random Café has become a popular venue for community initiatives and events, offering food donated by supermarkets, as well as selling fruit trees, plants and produce outdoors.
Earlier this year, the café received nearly £10,000 in funding from Watford Borough Council that saw the installation of a new footpath to eliminate the risks posed by the previously muddy footpath.
A similar grant of around £7,000 was received last year and was used for sustainability enhancements.
The café serves around 240 people per month, operating on a "pay as you feel" basis.
