Over 5,000 young people, equivalent to one in four young people in Chorley, registered at the centre in its first year of operation and it has now received over 30,000 visits. Over 20 different activities are delivered at the centre, including sport, advice and guidance for young people from the local community, including customers from nearby Clayton Brook and Astley Village.
