The Local Charity Support Group, formerly known as The Greyhound Social Committee was formed in 1984.

We began as a group of people who met socially and who had ideas about how to raise money to help people in the local community.

Although our name has changed, little else has. We are a registered charity and hold monthly progress meetings, although we continue to meet socially with the aim of raising funds by holding events such as the Annual Race and Cabaret Night and the Annual Darts Marathon, along with other events throughout the year.

Our main objective is to be able to support our local community and so it is vital to us that should we be approached by someone who needs our help locally we are able to assist in some way.

In the past we have made donations to larger charities such as Guide Dogs For The Blind and we hope that in the future we will have the funds available to support other larger charities too.

However, it is important to us not to lose sight of our main objective, which is to help people in need close to home.

If you know someone who would benefit from our help please don't hesitate to contact us.

Unfortunately, as a registered charity, we are unable to make donations to Government run bodies i.e. Education.

If you browse through the website you will see information of who to contact and how. There is also information of forthcoming events and dates for your diary. If you have been to one of our fundraisers before, thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing you again. If you haven't, we are sure you will have a great time whilst helping to raise funds for some very worthwhile causes.

We hope that our fundraising will continue to be supported by local people for local people and we look forward to hearing from you and seeing you at our next event.
