It all begins today. In the centre of York, right in the hustle and bustle, a team of volunteers is prepping. The cupboard is stocked, the biscuits are in, paint at the ready. York is gearing up for the arrival of Basement Central. 

St Michael le Belfrey (@theBelfrey), in partnership with Central Methodist Church York (@yorkchurch), has raised funds and for the next two weeks Phase 1 begins, turning two rooms and a large corridor into the beginnings of a youth and children's centre set to take York by storm.
