OKEHAMPTON Town Council has donated £500 to the Okehampton Ecclesiastical Charity from its grant aid fund.

The donation will go towards the upkeep of St James' Chapel.

George Maddaford recently popped into the town hall to collect a cheque from town mayor Cllr the Rev Mike Davies.

The council's policy and resources committee regularly reviews grant applications from local organisations. Any organisation that directly benefits the community of Okehampton in some way can apply for up to £500 of funding.

If you think your organisation could benefit, call the town hall on 01837 53179.
