A LOCAL community group has been boosted by a £250 grant.
The money was handed over to Whittington Craft Club by Bluebird Care.
The group meet weekly in the local village hall for sessions in crafts such as knitting and crochet.
Megan Barr, organiser of Whittington Craft Club, said the grant money would go towards the club’s summer outings and hiring a small bus for the transport.
Bluebird Care's director Martin Lahert said:
"As well as providing care and companionship services to people living in their own homes, Bluebird Care is passionate about supporting community projects and initiatives.
"So many neighbourhoods thrive because of volunteers who work tirelessly to run community groups, host events and provide services that benefit others.
"Much of this work involves supporting older people who, without regular coffee mornings, daytrips, or lunch clubs, would be left isolated at home."
