TWO Holsworthy organisations have benefitted from more than £700 thanks to a supermarket in the town.

Two cheques were presented at the Waitrose store recently from its Community Award campaign.

Holsworthy Youth Centre received £434 and £333 was donated to Holsworthy in Bloom to help with the upkeep of the flowers around the town.

Mayor John Allen said the donation would help keep the youth centre open.

“The youth centre is being well used and we encourage young people to go along and use it,” he added.

The youth centre is open every Tuesday from 3.15pm to 5.15pm for 11 to 13 year olds and from 5.30pm to 8pm for 14 to 16 year olds.
