THE future of a day centre for elderly Hindu people has been assured following a grant of £43,830.
The Northern Rock Foundation has donated money to the Hindu Cultural Centre, in North Ormesby.
Krishnan Nath, spokesman for the centre, said a grant from the National Lottery to help run the day centre was coming to an end. The latest cash input means the service can continue.
Mr Nath said: "Now our work at the centre can go on until at least 2008. We run it Monday to Friday and have 35 to 40 people attending.
"The grant helps towards the transport costs of bringing the elderly people from all over Teesside to the centre."
