The DUP representative added: “During my time as Mayor, I have carried out many fundraising activities including a number of bag packs in supermarkets throughout the borough.
“I want to thank all those who gave up their time to assist me in raising these funds, as well as those who dug deep and gave so generously.
“These charities are very close to my heart and I know every penny raised will be hugely appreciated by those individuals and families who rely on these charities during difficult times in their lives.”
