A NORTH Yorkshire youth club has pocketed a £500 grant.
The Richmond Methodist Church Youth Club has spent the cash from North Eastern and Cumbrian Co-op's community dividend fund on a pool table, tabletennis equipment and other games items.
The youth club was set up last year and within 12 months has increased its regular attendees from ten to 30.
Voluntary worker Carol Holland, said: "We believe the popularity of the club reflects the need for youth activities in a rural area, where there is little else to occupy young people."
Until the club received the grant their equipment comprised of a broken pool table, table football, a net and some old board games.
