A community centre in Lancaster has been awarded more than £94,000 of funding from BBC Children in Need.
The Marsh Community Centre will receive £94,093 from the charity, to fund two vital job roles – a new Family Worker and Youth Team Leader.
A spokesperson for the centre said: ‘’We did it!
‘’Was it easy? Absolutely not. It took a lot of hard work, determination and belief in what we do. But we got there!
‘’This funding means we can give even more support to local children, young people and families.
‘’Marsh Community Centre just keeps getting better. Watch this space!’’
Marsh Community Centre on Willow Lane is a welcoming centre at the heart of the Marsh area of Lancaster. They provide support, activities and opportunities for local people of all ages.
This includes a range of services to local residents such as assistance with housing, benefits, and jobs, and a full programme of community activities every week.
Everyone is welcome, with all users of the service treated with dignity and respect and support provided without judgement.
