Many thanks to Biddulph Youth and Community Zone for submitting this article - they've recently received some vital funding... congratulations! Read what they had to say below:

Biddulph Youth and Community Zone have been exceptionally lucky to be a grantee of the Phase 1 of Youth Investment Fund from DCMS and BBC Children in Need.

With this funding we have been able to purchase a range of new equipment, furniture and much more to help create a more modern and relaxing space as well as bring in new exciting activities for the young people who attend The Zone.

We're very excited about being able to deliver a wider variety of fun packed activities for young people who join us at our Monday and Friday night Youth Clubs and for those who join us in our other sessions held over the school holiday's. Not only will we be aiming to create an enjoyable space for them, we will be bringing a lot more varied things to do that they may not have had the opportunity to enjoy before now.

Keep an eye on our social media for future updates and photos about what items we've managed to secure thanks to this incredible opportunity.
