Two local charities have benefited from the generosity of Bolsover Council chairman Coun Tom Munro.

Every year, the council chaairman chooses different local charities to support – and in 2022/23, Coun Munro chose two, Ashgate Hospice and The Freedom Project.

He staged regular events, held raffles and generally raised money throughout his year in office and has now presented cheques to the charities to help them with their work.

Coun Munro said: “We all know how hard the past few years have been for local charities and I am delighted to be able to help these two local and very worthwhile causes carry on their good work and help our local residents.

“These two organisations provide a valuable service and care for our local residents when they most need it and I would like to thank everyone who supported me throughout the past year as your support is going to help many more people.”
