A CHARITY that works with homeless youngsters has celebrated its 10th anniversary.

Night Safe, which has a Night Shelter in Bridge Street, Blackburn, and a day centre, has helped thousands of young people aged between 16 and 25.

As well as providing temporary accommodation, Night Safe helps clients find permanent accommodation and also runs its own hostel.

Night Safe also helps with alcohol and drug abuse problems and generally guides youngsters through the bad times.

Blackburn with Darwen Mayor, Councillor Jack Bury OBE, joined staff and volunteers to toast the charity's first ten years and wish it all the best for the future.
