A National Lottery grant of almost £100,000 will enable Calvert Trust Exmoor to survive through the winter and look forward to reopening in 2021.
The centre near Kentisbury, which offers adventure breaks for the disabled, first closed when the pandemic hit in March and has remained shut apart from a few weeks in September and October.
Since the coronavirus crisis started the charity has restructured, placed staff on furlough and received funding from Government grants, banks and from supporters’ donations.
