CASH-strapped Bewdley Youth Cafe received £500 from the town’s rotary club to help it continue the service for young people.
The cafe is open five days a week before and after school, providing breakfast and internet access.
The charity featured in The Shuttle last August after dwindling funds meant it faced closure.
Since then, donations have kept the doors open. The cafe has about 500 members aged between 10 and 15 who go there to use the computers, do their homework, socialise with friends and play games such as pool and football.
