AN arts group is celebrating after being awarded a lottery grant.

Activate, a dance and art collective for people with disabilities, has received £4,210 to help it continue with classes in the town.

Wyn Higham, group chairman, said: "We are absolutely delighted.

"The grant will enable us to continue our classes while we look for bigger lottery grants to ensure our survival.

"Activate gives people back their confidence and self-esteem.

"It is a very rewarding project and I hope that we can continue with it."
