A COMMUNITY group donated money to an air cadet group.

Chairman of the residents and trader’s association of Corringham Alan Phillips presented a cheque for £250 to Stanford Air Cadets Chairman Dick Newman.

Deb Stewart, Conservative for Corringham and Fobbing said: “It was great to see RATA supporting a local community group.

“The money will help the group to purchase a new lap top computer to help with their flight simulation training.

“This just goes to show how we can be stronger together by supporting each other."
