AN outdoor centre in Credenhill has been awarded a lottery grant of nearly £50,000.

Taste for Adventure, which provides activities for less privileged young people, will receive £49,912.

The money from Sport England's Inspired Facilities fund will go towards upgrading the site's boulding centre, which is used for climbing.

"The Inspired Facilities Fund has had a huge impact on grassroots sport across the country," said Charles Johnston, Sport England property director.

"Since 2011, we've invested £88 million into more than 1,600 projects to improve and refurbish sports clubs and transform non-sporting venues into vibrant community sports clubs.

"It's great to see Taste for Adventure join the long list of successful clubs to benefit from this fund."
