Youth club sends out 'DIY SOS' appeal for help

The 15th Century Pescod Hall in Boston is being converted into a youth club

A new youth club is asking for volunteers to help get it ready for opening.

Boston Youth Hub at Pescod Hall has posted a "DIY SOS" appeal on social media.

The centre said it needs people to help with painting, gardening and tidying the building up.

It is also calling for plumbers, electricians, builders or "handy persons" to donate their time.

Tonic Health, which runs the centre in partnership with Boston Borough Council and local police, described it as "a safe space for young people aged 12 to 19 years".

It has a cafe serving drinks and snacks with wi-fi, a pool table, a large screen TV and gaming consoles, as well as a lounge and work spaces.

Admission is free and it will open after school, at weekends and during school holidays.

The Grade II listed timber-framed building was built in the 15th Century and was moved 65ft (20m) to a new location in 2003 when a shopping centre was constructed nearby.
