DENHOLME Youth Cafe will this weekend launch a £10,000 lottery-funded project to celebrate the village.

Local people are invited to join the young people for the Love Denholme launch at the Youth Cafe in Foster Park on Saturday, February 25 between 11am and 1.30pm.

The youngsters will spend several months designing and making traditional fairground games for Denholme’s annual Children’s Gala and other village activities.

There will also be a photographic competition celebrating Denholme, with the picture is going in a 2018 calender.

The £9,900 grant will pay for tools and materials, a weekly project worker, and professional professional artists and craftspeople who will teach skills and design techniques to Youth Cafe members.

Saturday’s launch will allow villagers to find out what the Youth Cafe does, joining with arts and crafts, learn that the competition, and have food and drinks.
