MP praises work of youth centre

MP Pauline Latham praised a Duffield youth centre which has proved popular with more than 600 youngsters as “incredibly important” during an official visit this week.

The politician met with volunteers for a tour of Massive Drop-in youth centre sampling some of the activities the centre has to offer and turning her hand to decorating a biscuit.

Massive acts as a social hub on Friday evenings for 11 to 18 year-olds - providing activities such as Xbox, table football and paintballing, laser tag and art workshops in the holidays.
