MOUNTAIN
SEARCH & RESCUE TEAMS
were based at Coldwell in search for 3 boys, aged 9, 12 and
13 missing on local moors, the children were later found safe
& well after 20 hours. More than 100 people helped with
the search, including three mountain rescue teams, two police
helicopters, officers from Lancashire and West Yorkshire Police
and dog search teams.The children are believed to have been
from a care home in Colne. The children had been on a field
study trip in the local area and deliberately disappeared before
being found by police in Burnley.
Coldwell was pleased to offer its facilities to assist police
and search teams. |
LOTTERY
CASH
will open the doors of the centre to a wider audience. The award
of £300,000 will enable Coldwell to extend its facilities.
We have just found out that we have now raised the necessary
income through funding to start the major building and refurbishment
project at Coldwell.
We have been successful in obtaining funding through the Big
Lottery, SRB6 and NRF in Pendle. The project will hopefully
start in January 2005 for six months and we aim to have an opening
ceremony by the end of summer. Our thanks go out to those who
have funded the project.
The transformation to the building and facilities will be monumental!!
We will have modern facilities throughout the building, which
will increase in overall size by over 40%. Modern and well equipped
training rooms, excellent office accommodation plus new and
modern bedrooms with en-suite facilities. We will be installing
a lift and will make vast improvements in disability access
throughout the centre including a covered walkway thus enabling
better movement throughout the building.
Commenting on the Lottery Award, Councillor Stuart Caddy, Leader
of Burnley Borough Council said "Burnley Council very much
welcomes the Lottery's decision to support the development of
the Coldwell Inn Activity Centre. Coldwell is a very important
and valuable resource for Burnley and East Lancashire. I know
of many residents, groups and youth clubs who have gone up to
the Centre to bring people together from different backgrounds
and build links and connections between them."
Speaking after a recent visit to the Centre to present an Investors
In People award, United Utilities chief executive John Roberts
said "Facilities like the Coldwell Centre play a vital
role in the future of our region. Our diversity is our strength
and the cohesion programme underlines that view in an accessible
way. We are delighted by Coldwell’s success in securing
community funding and we will continue to offer the Centre our
support. |
