PICTURES: Seventeen good causes benefit from 2018/19 Mayor’s charity funds

Coun Horton, whose term as the Mayor of Louth came to an end last month, held fundraisers including name cards, charity car boot sales bingo sessions at the Royal British Legion, and several smaller events during the year, raising almost £2,000.

Coun Horton told the Leader: “You get so much support from the community throughout the year, and then when it comes to deciding who to give some money to, it can be very difficult!

“The organisations that have benefitted today are all really great. I would have liked to have been able to give them all more, but there is only so much you can do in one year.”

Coun Horton added: “They’re all tremendous, and this is just a small token of appreciation for all the hard work that these organisations put in.”
