Former county council chairman Allan Caine will be presenting cheques totalling more than £4,850 to the Alzheimer's Society and the Great North Air Ambulance Service on Monday 21 May.
Photographers are invited to the Chairman's Room in the Nisi Prius Building, The Courts, Carlisle at 11:00am where councillor Caine will be presenting the money to Margaret Irving from the Alzheimer's Society and Janet Hume from the Great North Air Ambulance Service.
The money, which will be divided equally between the two charities, is made up of donations raised at a host of fund-raising events held by the former Chairman and council staff over the last twelve months.
The Alzheimer's Society and Great North Air Ambulance Service have been two of councillor Caine's favoured charities for a number of years. He said: "I'm delighted to crown a wonderful year as Chairman with the chance to hand over this sizeable sum to two very deserving causes."
