GRANTS worth nearly £40,000 have been awarded to charities in Henley as they try to recover from the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
Henley Town Council received applications from seven charities requesting a total of £66,194 but had a budget of less than two-thirds of that to allocate.
Members of the finance strategy and management committee agreed the awards after receiving presentations at a virtual meeting.
A total of £5,000 will go to Riverside Counselling, which provides affordable counselling and psychotherapy to adults and young people.
The charity, which is based in Northfield End, had asked for twice that amount.
