A cafe where almost everything is free has opened its doors in Aberdeen.
The only thing you need to pay for when you enter Tempo in the Bon Accord Centre is the time you spend there.
And the ten pence paid for every minute inside goes straight to charity Clan Cancer Support.
The operators want people to treat the space like their home – staying for as long as they like and uploading their plates and cups into a dishwasher before leaving.
To help with this there is high-speed wifi, charger points, comfortable chairs and a selection of children’s toys.
The project was boosted by the Bon Accord Centre, which donated the unit, Aberdeen firm Alaris which donated the kitchen and IKEA which donated the toys.
Dr Colette Blackwell, the chief executive at Clan, said the idea had “captured people’s imagination.”
She said: “We are thrilled to be part of this unique pop-up concept and look forward to welcoming people to Tempo over the coming weeks.
“Not only is it special in its own right, capturing people’s imagination, guests have the added reassurance of knowing they are making a difference, supporting Clan in our provision of wellbeing and support services for those affected by cancer in north-east, Moray, Orkney and Shetland.”
Craig Stevenson, the manager of Bon Accord, said he hoped it would be a space for people “relax and refuel.”
He said: “Tempo is something very special.
“In the short time it’s been open it’s been incredible to see the kinds of people who have come through the door, and see how much they have loved it.
“The concept is unique and those who have experienced it have thought it was amazing.
“We are really excited to be able to bring this to the city.
“It’s designed to be a space for everyone, where people can relax and refuel, and at this time of year, when it can feel like you’re constantly rushing, we hope Tempo will be a sanctuary.”
The store will be open seven days a week from 8.30am to 6pm on Monday to Saturday and 9.30am to 5pm on Sundays.
