A YOUTH centre has received £1,000 funding from a bank.

Thirsk Clock will use the money to fund activities for more than 300 young people, who use the centre each year.

Linda Gibbon, chairwoman of the trustees at the charity, expressed her thanks for the ongoing support from Barclays and other local businesses.

Pauline Broadwith, from Barclays, said: "At Barclays, we are committed to looking after local communities and we are delighted to support Thirsk Clock."
