I'm a little confused.

Even though I wasn't going to apply this year, because of the economic climate, I was contacted and offered £350.00 for the Hyndburn/Ribble Valley Parkinson's support group, from the Big Society pot, or whatever the council called it.

As it wasn't for myself, and will be used to help others, I felt we couldn't refuse it.

After the change of control in May, the newly controlled HBC told us they would honour the pledge, as it had been previously offered, but it would be reduced to £250.00.

This week I received the cheque, on behalf of the support group.

£350.00!

Not complaining. We are genuinely very grateful.

Just a little suprised, and delighted, at the amount.
