Gosberton Youth Centre has been awarded a grant of £800 from Asda Boston.
The money is from the Asda Foundation’s Young Futures Fund, which recognises the importance of supporting young people.
Up to £500,000 of grant funding was set aside to help grassroots groups provide resources, activities and workshops to young people.
The funding focused on enabling groups to improve mental and physical health, as well as wellbeing and creating positive life opportunities, especially groups carrying out projects/activities to engage and improve the wellbeing of marginalised and at-risk 13 to 21-year-olds.
Whether providing services that support, educate and empower, or connecting young people to their peers, groups were able to apply for grants between £500 and £1,000.
The criteria allowed groups to ask for help with delivering programmes and activities that improve physical health and wellbeing, or even support with rehabilitation, recovery and providing shelter too.
The youth centre will use the grant for craft resources and equipment to continue to deliver its activities.
