A CLUB night for teenagers has been relaunched with a new sound system, lighting and non-alcoholic cocktail bar.

A £4,000 grant from Richmondshire Community Safety Partnership has helped organisers of Matrix make the improvements.

The club night is held once a month in the Zetland Centre, Richmond.

Organiser Ben Dowding, from Richmond Pentecostal Church, said 114 young people attended the revamped Matrix when it reopened last month.

"We are really excited about the future of the Matrix venue," said Mr Dowding.

"There is a distinct lack of facilities for young people in Richmond and the surrounding areas and we are really pleased to be able to offer a professional and safe place for young people to come."

The new equipment will also be used at Radiate, the church's after school club.

The next Matrix night is on Saturday from 7.30pm to 10pm. Club nights will also be held on April 9, May 21, June 18 and July 23.

Entry is £1, or 50p with a flyer.

Radiate is held every Monday from 3.45pm to 5pm. Admission is 50p.
