SEVEN charities have had a bumper pay day to mark the end of a community group.
Southgate Tenants' Association in the centre of Elland has ended after 14 years and the £4,548 left in its coffers have been given to the charities.
Each has received £649.
They are the West Yorkshire Forget Me Not Trust, which aims to build a children's hospice in Kirklees or Calderdale, the British Heart Foundation, Overgate Hospice in Elland, the Macmillan cancer unit and the special care baby unit at the Calderdale Royal Hospital in Halifax, Holly Bank School at Mirfield and the Able Bodied and Disabled Club in Elland, which takes disabled people on trips.
Former association treasurer Laura Marsden said: "We are all getting older and decided to call it a day as an association. But we are carrying on as a social club."
