I headed over to meet Jennie, David and Russell at Atherton Community Hub to find out more about their plans at Victoria Mill.
Everyone knows there is a real lack of provision for young people in our area, with very few safe and dry places for them to go in the evenings, at weekends and during school holidays and I know that a few organisations are looking at this problem. These ambitious plans will provide that space and also be somewhere for organisations to use during the day, providing services for older and vulnerable people.
To see so many businesses and local people come together to support this project is fantastic and I’m looking forward to going back to the Community Hub again when it’s up and running.
