Over the past few weeks I have been working with a team of dedicated volunteers who have given up their weekends to renovate the Radcliffe Girls and Boys Club based in Withins Avenue.

I would like give my grateful thanks to all of them, including the vinvolved volunteers from throughout Bury, members of the club and residents of Radcliffe, who have done a terrific job.

This would not have been possible without the support of many local retailers and businesses who have donated materials and professional tradespeople who have given their time and expertise.

It has not been an easy task, and I have been heartened to see how many people have contributed their own time and resources to help improve the facilities for the youth of Radcliffe.

I also want to give a special thanks to Marj and Mike Earnshaw who run the club on a purely voluntary basis and who work volunteers tirelessly throughout the year to ensure that the club provides a warm, welcoming and safe environment for anyone who wants to come along, and who have been a tremendous source of support over the past few weeks.

Working on this project has been a privilege and my involvement will continue.
