“It is amazing the difference a lottery award can do for a group The awards in question are substantial sums and I know that they will be valued immensely by the groups and their members and supporters.
“Once again I am pleased for the successful local groups this time round and have my fingers crossed for those who await to learn of any outstanding application in this regard. For my part, I shall endeavour to continue to press for a fair distribution of lottery cash to the North-east.”
