Hide AdRegeneration specialist Keepmoat and Mexborough Community Partnership donated a new boiler and £500 funding respectively, to allow the centre to stay open later.
Jill Arkley-Jevons, Links4Youth Project Co-ordinator, said: “The boiler at the base kept breaking down, meaning we had to close early. Due to the community centre being run entirely by volunteers, we did not have sufficient funding for a new one. We’re very grateful for the donations.”
