Thank you for publishing the list of organisations which did and did not receive grants (The Argus, February 15). It made most interesting reading.

I see the Sudanese Elderly Group is to receive nearly £16,000 in the next two years, which begs the question of just how many elderly Sudanese people there are in Brighton and Hove and how many belong to this group?

Thousands of elderly Brighton people every year use facilities at the excellent Friends Centre but they got not a penny.

The council is always quick to reply to letters in The Argus when it suits.

I hope it will do the same to answer this question.
