A community club that supported youngsters during the depths of the coronavirus lockdown has been named as the third winner of a national award given in honour of the late Sir Captain Tom Moore.
When the pandemic hit nearly two years ago, the Ashton Vale Club for Young People didn’t simply stop supporting young people in the South Bristol suburb, just because they had to close their doors.
Instead, the youth workers at the community-based youth centres switched to a virtual youth club, and offered one-to-one support to those youth people finding the lockdown especially hard.
