RESIDENTS are being invited to help brighten up an area of Alcester.

A graffiti project is taking place around the Depot Youth Club at the Jubilee Centre, off St Faith's Road on Saturday, August 26 from 11am.

Local graffiti artist "Urge" will be creating a piece of artwork on a youth shelter that adjoins Alcester's Skate Park.

Young people will have the chance to help complete the artwork before being let loose on their own hardwood boards to paint in their own designs to take home.

There will be food and refreshments available.
