The Pavers Foundation has donated £500 to Rock Solid, a non-profit organisation that runs bouldering events for under 18’s. The Foundation donated the money on behalf of Dexter Lynch, a Pavers colleague based at Pavers Head Office in York.
Rock Solid is run solely on volunteers and runs youth climbing events across the North East and Lakes region. Chris Bullock, the areas Youth Co-ordinator said, “The grant awarded by Pavers Foundation is extremally generous and we are most grateful. To receive a cash award from a company outside of our sport is very gratifying and I think emphasize the growing awareness of sport climbing amongst the public at large”.
It was after attending a Rock Solid event with his son, that Dexter saw the benefits of the sport on the young people there and how many were being encouraged to participate by the organisation and wanted to apply for a grant to support the continuation of the group and its future events.
