Harleston Information Plus received a funding boost from The Lodge of Marksman when Andrew Klausner, charity steward at the lodge, presented the centre with a cheque for £750.

Mr Klausner said: ''I have discovered many things about Harleston Information Plus during the months that I have been working with them. They do so much for the local community.

'It makes me very happy to think that I, and the members of my Lodge have been able to support such an integral part of the town.'

Julie Helsby, community support manager at Harleston Information Plus said: 'By helping us to continue our work, Lodge members are making a big difference to the lives of local people. '

More than 200 people use the information centre each week which provides a six day a week information service, jobs club, Internet café, and training classes.
