          An outdoor activity centre in Cumbria is one of many struggling to survive the pandemic. It's used for residential school trips and by children with special educational needs. It's feared many outdoor centres could close for good.

        • We are thrilled to announce that we have been awar We are thrilled to announce that we have been awarded £96,102 by the ScottishPower Foundation towards our 2020 Adventure For All project. The project was originally split into 2 sections, with £45,000 of sponsorship enabling disabled people who would otherwise not be able to afford a trip to Bendrigg the opportunity for adventure, and the remaining funds supporting the improvement of our services and resources specifically for people with Hidden Disabilities such as hearing or speech impairments, and/or learning disabilities. With the Covid-19 pandemic hitting earlier this year, we had to close the centre and many of our projects and services have been adversely impacted. This means that our Hidden Disabilities project has had to be postponed however the ScottishPower Foundation kindly agreed that these funds could be redistributed to cover our unavoidable core costs during this incredibly difficult time for charities. We are very grateful for their generosity and flexibility as it means that we have a much stronger chance of being able to survive and welcome back clients, who after prolonged periods of isolation, will undoubtedly need to access our services more than ever before. #accessibleadventure #accessibleactivities #smallcharity #charity #kendal #cumbria #lakedistrict #bendrigg #bendriggtrust #getoutdoors
