A little over 10 years ago the Council run Youth Centre operating at the former primary school building on Castle Street was threatened with closure. A group of determined and resourceful individuals set about ensuring that the facility remained open for the benefit of the local community and set up a Charitable Trust to help achieve this objective.

10 years later the Trust has purchased the building, re-furbished it and made it available for use 7 days a week.
