The Crepe Escape, a family-run business in Penarth, are packaging up treat boxes for NHS staff and those working in our local hospitals.

They have been working out ways to help the community and want to contribute in whatever way they can to the crisis.

Alison Jones, the owner of the creperie, came up with the idea to produce parcels filled with little treats and essential snacks for frontline workers.

She said: ''During these unprecedented times with the world pandemic outbreak of Coronavirus, our frontline staff, and in particular, the NHS staff are working tirelessly to save lives.

''They are risking their own lives to save others and working in very extreme conditions.

''We have so much respect for them, whilst being frightened themselves, they are looking after patients who are alone and very scared.

''We just feel so helpless and want to do our bit. We want to give something back to these real-life superheroes.

''The Crepe Escape is a family-run, community-led business and we want to say a huge thank you to these amazing people who work and live around us.

''We will deliver treat boxes to hospitals for frontline NHS staff on their working shifts to brighten up their days.

''The treat boxes will have mini afternoon teas, or grazing boxes, with some essential refreshments to help them through the day.

''We will coordinate, arrange deliveries, donate our time and donate as far as we can, will provide treats/ essentials for free but would like your help to support us with any donations, no matter how small.

''Rest assured, any donations we receive will be spent directly on treats for NHS staff.

''If we can put a smile on the face of our frontline NHS workers, we'll have achieved what we wanted to. Please help us to say thank you.

''Stay safe and take care, The Crepe Escape.''

The local business recently reached their four year anniversary but had to celebrate behind closed doors due to the lockdown restrictions.

They have shared photos and memories on their Facebook of all the wonderful times they have had and their customers throughout the years.
