New Pasture Lane Community Centre in Bridlington has been awarded a £2,500 grant from the Morrisons Foundation to help create a new social hub for residents.

The funds have enabled the charity to develop their ‘Lewis Lounge’ project, which offers a warm and inviting place for the Bridlington residents to pop in and have a chat.

It will also provide a rentable space for meetings, events and clubs to support the community.

“The community centre now has brand new flooring, a comfortable lounge and a side room which provides private space where we can continue our support with positive mental health support and awareness.

“At one stage of our journey we were completely down in the dumps, especially after the toilet flooded and ruined the flooring.

“The support from the Morrisons Foundation made it possible to continue our mission to support positive mental health in the memory of our good friend who lost his life to mental illness.”
