A COUNTY council grant recently enabled a group of 40 young people from Wythall to scale new heights.

The money allowed the 11 to 16-year-olds to spend a weekend at the Pioneer outdoor pursuits centre near Kidderminster.

The group, called "Distin-ctive", meets on the last Sunday evening of each month to take part in a Christian youth service at the Wythall youth centre.
