A gun club will use a lottery grant to improve disabled access to its range and teach youths about the dangers of gun crime.
The Baildon Rifle & Pistol club employs trained instructors who educate young people in the dangers of guns.
The club, based at the Phoenix range in Esholt, will use £10,000 lottery money to continue the practice and to make the range more accessible to disabled people.
Club committee member Susan Knighton said: “We will be improving disabled access and installing a disabled toilet.
“We get quite a lot of disaffected youths coming here and we are teaching them of the dangers of gun crime and how to use a gun properly and safely.
“It is something we do already but we can continue with the help of the money.
“We’re all very pleased it’ll be a great help to us.”
