The funding is due to the general public’s generosity through the sale of lottery tickets.
Bridlington's new community hub has received £365,751 of funding from the National Lottery.
The community hub is due to open in the new year, the money Will be used over the next five years and amongst other things will help fund a manager for the centre as well as a caretaker.
The new building on Marshall Street is expected to be ready for use in late January or early February.
It sits alongside the new Bridlington Town Council offices which opened this week.
