CWM and Talliston Congregational Church netted a grant of £100 thanks to Blaenau Gwent council local member Councillor Keith Barnes.
He diverted some of his members' schemes cash to the church. This is money from the local authority which local members can choose how to spend.
Ebbw Vale Deaf Club also benefitted from £75 thanks to Councillors David White and Graham Hughes.
