Former Shrewsbury youth club set to re-open
A former Shrewsbury youth centre has undergone a major transformation and is now ready to re-open as a community hub.
The Grange Centre, off Mount Pleasant Road, has been taken over by Shrewsbury Town Council.
It is hosting an open day for the community between 10am and 4pm on Sunday.
Thrilled
Adam Purnell, youth and community development officer for the town council, said: “There’s been a lot of work going on to get ready for the official relaunch of the Grange Centre and we’re thrilled to be able to invite the local community along on Sunday to see what we’ve been up to.
“There’s plenty of activities for people to enjoy at our free event, including arts and crafts activities, music production workshops and face painting.
“We hope that when people come into the building and see what a fantastic space it has become now, they will want to book it for their community events. The centre was a purpose-built youth centre and with the refurbishments we’ve undertaken, we hope that the wider community will realise that the building is available for everybody and that they can book it for their events.”
Staff from Caterpillar Defense helped paint the building as part of their annual community project.
There will be bacon baps and coffee served from 10am until 11am and a barbecue from 12.30pm to 2pm.
