Deputy Lord Mayor Opens MUGA 
We had a special visitor on the 30th March when the Deputy Lord Mayor, Councillor Abid Hussain, visited the Sedbergh Centre to open our brand new play area. The old tennis court has been fitted with a new games area that can be used to play football, basketball, cricket and other sports. It was funded by Veolia Environmental Trust and the centre trustees and staff would like to extend their thanks and hope it will encourage young people and the community to become more involved in some free sport activities.

Sir George Martin Trust Paves the Way

The Sedbergh Centre would like to say a big thank you to the Sir George Martin Trust for funding refurbishments to the pathway around the Sedbergh Centre. The pathway that leads to the new play area is now fully accessible especially to those with mobility needs. The Sir George Martin Trust has been very supportive to the Sedbergh Centre community over the past few years and has funded our cycle track which has been well utilised by local people. We hope that the new path will encourage more people to use the play area and woodland walk.
