A youth club based in Warton in Fylde has received a donation of £1,000 from a local homebuilder.

Streetwise at Butlers Meadow, was gifted the money, as well as tables and chairs for the club, from ANWYL a company with new home developments across Lancashire.

Ella-Grace Gregoire, Streetwise, said: “Our entire sound system broke over Christmas and without them we wouldn’t be able to run half of our activities, particularly performing arts.

“Thanks to the donation from Anwyl we’ve been able to purchase two new bluetooth speakers. We’ll be able to use these within the community centre in Warton and for our projects across the Fylde Coast, helping young people create happy memories, nurturing them to develop new skills and have a brighter future.”

Through clubs, community groups, enrichment and outreach activities, Streetwise aim to improve the behavioural, physical and mental wellbeing of groups in the community.

Imogen Suffell, Anwyl area sales manager said: “Streetwise is a real asset to both Warton and the wider Fylde area. The charity has engaged with thousands of young people, providing them with fun activities and helping them develop skills for the future.

“We’re pleased to have been able to support Streetwise by donating funds to cover the cost of the new speakers. It’s also good to see some of the furniture we no longer need being put to good use by the charity.

“We hope younger residents of our homes in Warton will join in with some of the activities organised by Streetwise.”

Streetwise often organise events at their community centre including soft play, mindful drawing clubs and homework clubs.
