STAFF at Calvert Trust Kielder are thrilled to have been presented with a wheelchair accessible mini-bus.

Lord’s Taverners, a charity which enables disadvantaged and disabled young people to enjoy sport, handed the Kielder-based charity one of the buses last Monday.

Paul Robin, chief executive of the Lord’s Taverners, said: “We aim to provide as many young people as possible with a sporting chance, and this giveaway is part of a very special year, with a record 40 minibuses being donated on the 40th anniversary of when we provided the first one.”

Calvert Trust Kielder’s CEO Peter Cockerill said: “The new minibus is a tremendous boost for Calvert Trust Kielder and means we can continue our good work and welcome even more guests to the centre.”
