The Big
Lottery Fund distributes money raised by players of the National Lottery to
communities across the UK, and two local groups are the latest to benefit from
funding. The Hadrian District Scouts have been awarded £9750 to make
improvements to their camp site and car park, including a wheelchair accessible
ramp, picnic tables and new cooking and catering equipment, which will enable
more young people and adults with mobility issues to enjoy the amenities and
activities on offer. Meanwhile Riding Mill Village Hall Trust has received
£2000 in funding to install a hearing loop, hand rail and tarmac path at their
parish hall to improve safety and facilities for older people and people with
disabilities.
The Big
Lottery Fund funds projects and activities that make communities stronger and
more vibrant, and that are led by the people who live in them. This funding
will make a huge difference to the two local groups and the communities that
they serve.
