THE official opening of Portishead Youth Centre’s refurbished coffee bar gave young people a chance to say a big thank you to supporters of the project.

Representatives from both the town and district councils, along with members of numerous charities and community groups which provided grant aid, raised their coffee cups to toast the 21st century facility.

The youth centre management committee is currently investigating ways to open the coffee bar as a youth caf� at weekends when the youth club is not in operation.
