YOUNGSTERS at Lancaster's boys club were celebrating being awarded £413,000 from the National Lottery yesterday.
The money has been awarded to Dallas Road Boys Club for a complete refurbishment and for re-roofing.
Youth workers at the centre began compiling a comprehensive bid to the lottery about 18 months ago.
Chairman of the club Richard Bradley was overjoyed. He said: "We are delighted with what's happening. There's a lot of work involved in getting planning permission, constructing proper designs and a number of other things to sort out before you can submit a bid. To be actually awarded the money is brilliant news."
