During the darkest year of The Troubles, a group of parents took over a shop on a North Belfast street to hold a Halloween disco to keep kids in the local area out of trouble.
But word quickly spread around Ardoyne, and Herbert Street Youth Club, as it was then known due to its location, became a regular meeting spot for kids living in the area.
Fifty years later, in a different location and with a different name, the team at John Paul II Youth Club are still as committed as ever to giving local young people a place to meet up with friends and thrive.
