A MASSIVE £320,000 grant has been awarded to a Bromsgrove charity to help it buy and refurbish new premises in the town and give disabled residents more opportunities.

Bromsgrove and District Citizens' Advice Bureau, in Worcester Road, was given the windfall after submitting a bid to the National Lottery Charities Board.

The award has come at the same time as the group is celebrating its 60th year.

Manager Sonia Hambidge said: "More disabled volunteers will be able to join the service and the changes will mean less waiting time for clients, better access to telephone advice and a working environment that benefits a main, modern and progressive advice agency."
