Manchester’s Iconic Salford Lads Club to Remain Open After Closure Threat
Salford Lads Club has confirmed it will remain open, after the historic Greater Manchester venue faced the threat of closure earlier this year.
The Salford Lads and Girls Club that features on the sleeve of The Smiths Album The Queen Is Dead is facing a shortfall of £250,000 in funding due to the rising costs and is appealing for donations. By offering sports and creative activities six days a week, the venue serves as a safe space for young people from some of the city’s most deprived communities, and was opened by Scouting founder Robert Baden-Powell in 1904. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our supporters, we’ve smashed our £250,000 target, ensuring the doors of this iconic building remain open for our young people and the community,” the post began.
