Community groups and charities benefit from Adur’s Pot of Gold
Each group gave a five-minute presentation outlining their project idea, and 78 residents went along for the live voting on May 9, hosted by BBC Sussex breakfast presenter Neil Pringle.
Winners were rubber-stamped at Adur Council on Thursday.
Friends of St Mary du Haura received the largest amount, £11,500 for the restoration of the chime mechanism of the town clock.
