He explained: “The two main thrusts of the projects are focused around supporting families and dealing with loneliness.

“It is based on the idea of a community hub with family time being part of it.”

The cheque was presented by group members Andrew Slaven (ELS Bathroom & Kitchen Studio) and Derek Dempsey (Greenwood Insurances).

Speaking about the group’s donation Derek Dempsey said: “As a group we are delighted to support this local initiative that can make a real difference to the people that live in our community”.

“Hopefully by being able to expand their offering The Hub will continue to play a key role in supporting local families”.
