Project Rainbow in Watton has been given new creative materials thanks to a contribution from Norwich and Peterborough building society.
Paul Adcock, Project Rainbow treasurer, said he was pleased to see the charity getting recognition and support.
“The donation of the jewellery and craft bits and pieces was brilliant,” he said.
“Lots of beautiful things have been made and are now up for sale.”
Based at the former doctors' surgery in St Giles Road, Project Rainbow provides a place the youth of Watton can call their own.

“There is a lack of places for young people to go and hang out, and I think that Project Rainbow is a great idea.”
