Cash donation bolsters Littlehampton causes’ coffers
Members of the Littlehampton Carnival Association invited youngsters to take part in a ceremony, at the St Catherine’s Church Hall, in Beach Road, last week.
The cash windfall came from donations and funds raised during this year’s carnival celebrations. The 2013 beneficiaries included the New Highfield Residents’ Group’s youth section and disabilities charity Raydar – which both received £500.

President of the carnival association, Freda Hughes, said: “We were really pleased to donate to these causes which support the town’s young people.”
Ashley Lamb, of New Highfields Residents’ Group, said: “It was amazing. We were totally shocked. We never expected that much to be donated.”
