A WINCHESTER charity is launching a new event aimed to get youngsters off the streets at the weekend.

Area director for YMCA Winchester, Sally Arscott, said at a recent town forum meeting that it is going to host Saturday Night Live! once a month from January.

“It would be large scale, for 200 to 300 young people to come together in a safe environment,” she said.

“There’s nowhere for young people to go on a Saturday night.”
