Bishop's Castle children are benefiting from a "generous" donation from a charity set up in memory of popular teenager Dylan Price.

Crowgate Child Centre in Bishop's Castle is the latest to receive funding from The Dylan Price Foundation which was set up to help support local young people through sport and to improve facilities in the area.

"Dylan was a much-loved member of the 'Crowgate Family' in his early years and will always be fondly remembered," the Oak Meadow childcare provider said.

"Everyone would like to say a big thank you to the Dylan Price Foundation for the generous donation towards new resources.

"This is being used, and appreciated, by all the children that use the centre."

He had been out celebrating with friends the day before his birthday and was killed whilst travelling home on the B4385, Brampton Road in Bishop’s Castle.
