PICTURES: Seventeen good causes benefit from 2018/19 Mayor’s charity funds
Coun Horton, whose term as the Mayor of Louth came to an end last month, held fundraisers including name cards, charity car boot sales bingo sessions at the Royal British Legion, and several smaller events during the year, raising almost £2,000.
Coun Horton told the Leader: “You get so much support from the community throughout the year, and then when it comes to deciding who to give some money to, it can be very difficult!
