A County Derry museum has been handed a funding boost after an increase was approved at a meeting of a council committee.
Garvagh Museum presented a summary of their activities to Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council's Leisure and Development Committee last week to ask them to renew an existing agreement.
In 2016, the council had agreed to support the community and volunteer-led museum with a grant of £7,500 to be paid annually.
Councillor Richard Holmes praised the work done by the museum and suggested the annual contribution be increased to £10,000, having remained static at £7,500 since 2016.
