Two local Bolsover organisations have benefited from the generosity of their local councillors as they received a total of £2,450.

Councillors Nick Clarke, Anne Clarke and Derek Adams gave Bolsover Drama Group a cheque for £1,550, whilst councillors Nick Clarke and Anne Clarke donated £900 to Bolsover Boxing Club.

Both organisations welcomed the donation and thanked the councillors for their generosity and will put it towards the running costs of their organisations.

Each of the authority's 37 district councillors receive £1,000 per year to donate to good causes and community groups within their ward and the money has been allocated from their share of this money.
