A leading care charity's go-kart enterprise has been backed by Glasgow Airport with an award of nearly £40,000 to pay for vehicles.
Kibble's The Experience is currently under construction in the former Rolls-Royce factory in Hillington Park.
As well as Scotland's first indoor electric go-karting track, the venue will host leisure and catering facilities Kibble hopes will create 50 transitional jobs and 50 work placements for 16-24s annually. The scheme will include 20 hours a week of Karting with a Conscience sessions, for those with disabilities who are unable to drive a kart themselves, using tandem go-karts bought with cash from the airport's FlightPath Fund.
Graham Bell, Kibble chief executive, said: "Our programme offers social inclusion to children and adults who would otherwise be unable to experience the thrill of go-karting. The sessions will be a really memorable experience."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
