Dukes Barn,
The Kilworth Challenge |
 |
About the charity |
|
It supports charities/organisations/individuals, whose primarily focus is providing sporting/recreational activities for individuals with special needs by reason of age, infirmity or disability, to improve their conditions of life and also locally in areas of social welfare, education, leisure and the protection/development of the environment. |
|
| The Kilworth Challenge charity are regular supporters of Duke Barn and with their generous funding we have been able to purchase 6 canoes, a trailer, special buoyancy aids and be able to adapt the canoes to make them suitable for use by disable people. We are fortunate to be able to use Emperor Lake on the Chatsworth House estate and with this equipment and portable hoist we are now able to share this experience with disabled youngsters. |

| With another grant from the Kilworth Challenge we were able to install 2 automatic sliding doors to the centre enabling our wheelchair users to enter and exit the centre and independently access the play areas. | |
