A local social enterprise is hoping to grow its workforce from 18 staff, after a £50,000 cash boost.

The funding from the Housing Executive will help SPACE NI set up a training workshop and retail work space at Market Street.

It is to support 15 young adults with learning difficulties.

They say there's been a surge in demand for the 'Love your Space' initiative, which offers training in retail, business and up-cycling skills.
