Young people in Bingley will have a place of their own after the completion of a major project to bring a youth cafe to the town.

Bingley Youth Cafe has now opened following a renovation of a former maintenance area in the basement of Bingley Pool in Myrtle Place.

Staff at the cafe, which will have its official opening in September, will provide activities and advice on issues such as health and housing to hundreds of people expected to use the new centre each week. It has been opened thanks to a grant of £498,903 secured by Shipley and Bingley Voluntary Services (SBVS) from the Big Lottery Fund and money from Council funds.
