Members of a local group received a donation from a major international company.
The Three Towns Men’s Shed were given a cheque by Chemring on Tuesday, December 10.
The global business which provides a range of advanced technology products and services to the aerospace, defence and security markets, presented the group with £900.
Donald McLarty, the Men’s Shed secretary, said the funds will be used to support the general running of the group.
He said: “When we need major items we can get grants, but if we need a pot of glue we’re stuck.
“We are very grateful.
“We gave them a certificate and expressed our thanks.
“It came at the right time.”
The group face major upheaval due to a planned move which has now been postponed til next Christmas.
