Several individuals and organisations have come forward to offer support to prevent a long-running youth centre in Bridgnorth from closing.

More than 10 people have expressed an interest in becoming a trustees, and at least six organisations have offered support to help The Bridge Youth Centre on Whitburn Street.

However, the youth centre will still close over Christmas, as planned, and remain shut during early months of next year while new plans are developed.

Trustees recently announced that the centre would close at the end of the year due to diminishing funds, unless new trustees stepped in to help run the organisation.

The centre has been operated by the Bridgnorth Dry Bar Trust for more than 30 years, providing a safe and supportive place for young people to meet on Friday nights.
