A woman who died after a long battle with drug addiction is to have a cafe opened in her memory.
Kristie Bishop, from Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire, died from an overdose in March 2020.
The 35-year-old had been clean for 18 months but relapsed at the start of the pandemic.
Her aunt, Jolli Waterland, said a portion of the takings at Kristie s, due to open in the town on Wednesday, would be donated to a drugs charity.
Ms Waterland said she wanted the Sherrard Street venue to have a positive atmosphere to reflect Ms Bishop s personality.
