This is such a special place...

FAMOUS faces from the music and showbiz world are pulling together to back the campaign to save Salford Lads Club from closure.

The historic youth centre must raise £250,000 by the end of November, sparking an M.E.N. campaign to help the emergency fundraising drive.

"I couldn't believe it when I heard," said former Coronation Street star Catherine Tyldesley about the shock news.

For TV star Catherine, the club holds personal connections.

Her beloved grandad, James Thornhill, has his name in a plaque on the wall as a club member in the 1930 and 40s. Catherine fondly remembers her grandad talking about his times at the club - and how it had changed his life.

It's why the former Strictly Come Dancing star knows only too well how vital it is that the club remains.

She said: "My grandad spent most of his youth there and he spoke about that place until the day he died.

This is such a special place.
