Group leader Jeannie said: "Pebsham Chill Zone Youth Club would like to say a huge thank you to all who have supported them and enabled them to be successful."

Tesco gave 500 for an Xbox with games, a TV, beanbags and a chess set.

RDC crime reduction officer Thelma Blakeley also gave 500 for a Wii console and TV, and sporting equipment.

Amicus Horizon, which helped in February with a start-up grant, has now given a further grant of 3,000 to run activities including sign language, cooking and a graffitti workshop through the next year.
