Onchan Youth Club receive cash injection from Lottery Trust

Saturday, 14 October 2023 at 08:00

An Onchan based youth club has received a £2,300 grant from the Manx Lottery Trust.

The money will go towards the refurbishment of Kenyon's Café, which includes new furniture and the removal of a wall to expand the space.

The space offers a relaxed and safe environment for young people to connect with friends and access advice and support where needed.

It aims to encourage younger people to make meaningful changes in their communities, and act as a positive distraction from anti-social behaviour.
