Can you help a community group dedicated to brightening up #Larne town centre? We're trying to raise some money for Summer 2024 projects. Here's how to help: gofund.me/9c8e75a5. We envisage more paintings, mosaics, poetry and photography on the walls — our way of cheering up a town that has completely neglected. Without millions from any government on offer, we makes things, paint things, cleans things up and try to keep smiling!
