A LOCAL community group is celebrating this week after receiving a grant from Northern Rail.
The train operator asked its 7,000 employees to nominate charitable causes in their local communities to receive a slice of the £10,000 that was up for grabs.
Friends of Millhouse School, who work alongside the primary school in Millhouse Green, were awarded £500.
Carolyn Watson, director of stakeholder and community engagement at Northern, said: “These grants were all about supporting local causes across the north of England – and who better to advise us on the groups and projects that can really make a difference than our own employees, who live and work right across the length and breadth of our network.
“Worth a combined £10,000, these grants will help small, local groups deliver work in their communities that will have a real impact.”
