People in Larne now have a place to keep warm and enjoy lunch thanks to community funding from Brighter Futures, supported by Kilwaughter Minerals.

Larne Community Development Project used money from the grant scheme to support its luncheon club enabling it to run the weekly event as a ‘warm space’ during colder weather.

The initiative, which returned this month to Linn Road Community Centre following a break for the summer, provides a welcoming environment and a hot meal for dozens of people every week.
