Charities in Newtown and throughout Montgomeryshire are being urged to apply for funding from a pot of over £3 million that has been raised by players of People’s Postcode Lottery.
Montgomeryshire AM, Russell George, is urging local groups to apply to the fund which is open to applications until 14th August.
A wide range of community organisations, from registered charities to voluntary groups and social enterprises, are eligible to apply for grants of between £500 and £20,000.
Mr George said: “There are countless organisations doing fantastic work across Montgomeryshire. This is the perfect opportunity for them to take advantage of the funding available and expand the reach of an existing service, get a new project off the ground, or allow it to help extend an already successful initiative. I strongly encourage as many groups as possible to apply.”
Laura Chow, head of charities at People’s Postcode Lottery, added: “It’s not just players who win with People’s Postcode Lottery - over £3 million in grants will have a tremendous impact on grass-roots groups across Britain.
“Between the three trusts, a huge array of projects is able to benefit and I would urge all groups to look at the funding guides and apply.”
