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!’’
