A CHARITY that runs an activity centre for young people has been given a £1,000-plus boost from freemasons in Huddersfield.

The Lodge of Connaught and Truth, based at Greenhead Masonic Hall near Huddersfield town centre, presented £1,100 to Huddersfield Wharfeside Youth Trust.

The voluntary group runs Wharfeside House, an outdoor pursuit centre in Kettlewell used by people from the Huddersfield area.

The money from the West Yorkshire Provincial Grand Master’s Fund will go towards refurbishing the kitchen.
