South Manchester youth club The Hub hosted its inaugural post-fast party on Saturday night, one of the first to be offered to Manchester youth for some years. The club says it was a chance for the 50 youngsters, aged between 13 and 15, to use the newly created club to bolster a social scene for the age group.

Hub youth worker Marc Fink said: "This was a great start for the new year for the Hub We saw a gap in the market to revitalise this key date in the Jewish youth calendar and we hope that even more people will attend next year."
