AN OUTDOOR activity centre in Easingwold has unveiled plans to turn its historic wartime cabin into an eco-friendly classroom and meeting hall, and has appealed for public support.

The 1st Easingwold Scout Group is co-ordinating the Easingwold Outdoor Centre project at its campsite, and needs letters of support to help secure vital grant funding.

Scout Leader Dave Waring said: “The centre is unique in this area. It’s where supervised groups can play, learn, camp and enjoy being outdoors.”

York architect Philip Rickinson of PRA Architects designed the new facilities free of charge after seeing how the centre helps young people.

Messages of support can be left on the Hambleton District Council planning portal or through a link on the project’s website at outdoorcentre.easingwold.org
