Set up in 2022 to ensure the children in their area were not disadvantaged by the cost of activities and involving older residents to help with isolation, Neighbours United wanted to purchase some items to use for community get togethers and a laptop to help with administration. Mayor Patricia Logue was familiar with this close-knit community group and, on her recommendation, the Committee readily agreed a grant of £900 on behalf of The Drapers’ Company towards the items listed in the application.
