A charity which helps vulnerable and disadvantaged people has received £1,000 from a regional housebuilder, which will help support the over 60s.
Walk Tall, which is based in Gravesend, was awarded the money by Persimmon Homes South East through its Community Champions initiative.
The match-funded scheme hands out two awards of up to £1,000 every month to community good causes.
Walk Tall was formed 18 years ago. The charity offers counselling, education and therapeutic arts.
Spokesman Ann Duke said: âWe would like to have a therapeutic support and activity group for the over 60s, a gap in our service that has become apparent during the Covid crisis, as requests to provide welfare calls have become overwhelming.
