A CHARITY has reached a fund-raising target that will allow it to provide affordable holidays to people with disabilities.
The North-East Disabled Motorists Club, which meets in Perkinsville, near Chester-le-Street, has raised enough money to buy a caravan adapted for people with disabilities.
The club managed to raise £30,000 to buy the static caravan at Butlins in Skegness in about nine months. About half the money came from grants from Barclays Bank and lottery money.
Facilities at Butlins are to be included in the price of renting the caravan.
The club meets on the third Sunday of every month at Perkinsville Community Hall.
To book the caravan or to find out more information about the club please telephone (01207) 283986.
