A “vital” social group for adults with learning difficulties in Lichfield has been boosted by a £2,000 donation.
The future of the Friends 2 Friends group had looked bleak after it was turned down for new funding from Lichfield District Council.
It costs around £13,000 a year to run the organisation and the 40-plus members have already held their own fundraising events.
But Lichfield Round Table chairman David Nuttall said he was pleased to be able to lend a hand: “We were made aware of Friends 2 Friends and their funding deficit, and the members of our Table decided that they were a great cause and certainly deserving of our support.
“Members of Friends 2 Friends are helped to make and serve food and are assisted in living independently. Their members benefit from supporting each other in gaining employment and benefit advice from Alison and fellow Friends 2 Friends worker Jason.
“We were only too happy to help support this group so that it may continue to function for the foreseeable future.”
