BOVEY TRACEY'S only youth club has been thrown a £10,000 lifeline to carry on its good work in the town for at least another 12 months... thanks to a recluse from Exmouth who died four years ago.

The 100-strong Youth Cafe at Pixie Corner, Fore Street, is cock-a-hoop after securing vital funding from Exeter-based solicitors firm Dunn and Baker, which administers the Clatworthy Trust.

The trust – set up to dispose of the estate of Henry Clatworthy to charitable causes – came up trumps just before Christmas when it confirmed that the hard-up club's bid for funds had hit the right mark.
