Legacy Youth Zone, in Selhurst, Croydon, is calling on the public to help support its costs of £1.8 million each year.

The call comes following a pledge from an anonymous donor to double any donations made over the next year.

The organisation is also in talks with Croydon Council over further financial support as its operational agreement comes to an end on 31 March next year. 

The council has invested £300,000 per year over three years to support the youth zone since it opened in 2018. 

The organisation provides support for young people aged eight to 19, or 25 for those with additional needs.
