A Hereford charity dedicated to helping young people into employment and education has moved home.

The Mayor of Hereford, Councillor Ursula Attfield, officially opened the new headquarters for Community Service Volunteers (CSV) in Whitecross Road.

After 16 years in Hereford, the charity had grown too big for its previous premises in Berrington Road.

Priding themselves on offering trainees flexible learning at their own pace in a safe, supportive and friendly atmosphere, organisers specialise in training and support for people who find it difficult to benefit from mainstream employment.

Assistant manager Michael Edwards said: "It was an excellent day. Lots of our colleagues came and took a tour of the premises which includes a fitness suite, a beauty salon and a craft and carpentry workshop.

"We offer opportunities to our learners to try their hand at different activities as part of their training courses."
