A company has been awarded £6.2million to build a youth club for thousands of youngsters in Salford. Empower Youth Zones secured the funding via the Youth Investment Fund grant.
The business submitted a planning application in the hope of getting funding. It would make it the sixth youth centre of its kind with buildings in Bolton, Gorton, Harpurhey, Oldham and Wigan.
The funding, for the building next to Belverdere Road and Broadwalk in Pendleton, has now been finalised and will cover all of the building costs. The company will organise a fundraiser to assist with the annual running costs.
