Stancliffe Stone Support Dukes Barns Latest Project

Oct. 25, 2010 - PRLog -- Dukes Barn is an Outdoor Education charity, based in Beeley, in the heart of the beautiful Derbyshire countryside, providing outdoor adventure activities for all young people regardless of ability, especially wheelchair users.

Following the official opening of their new ‘All Weather Sports Surface’ their next major project is to build an indoor Climbing Wall inside a new designed facility, at the School Lane centre.

Stancliffe Stone helped launch the fund raising campaign by pledging to supply the natural stone walling and masonry to build the new climbing centre. Stancliffe’s Managing Director told the dignitaries at Saturday’s event, who included the Duke of Devonshire and former Home Secretary David Blunket MP, that, ‘the natural stone of the peaks will be a legacy to the dedication of the staff at Dukes Barn and everyone at Stancliffe felt proud and privileged to donate to such a marvellous project’.

The thrilled head of the School Lane centre, Phil Booth said, ‘The news was a fantastic boost to the £380,000 target needed to be reached before this dream becomes reality. ‘This generous donation gives the staff and trustees the right starting point to build a fundraising campaign on’. Phil continued, ‘this is a very exciting venture, I’m sure we will be working very closely with the team from Stancliffe Stone over the coming months’.
