NatWest have got in touch with us as your local Councillors to let us know about a new Grants Scheme they are running for local groups.

In each of their local markets they are offering three community projects the chance to win awards of £6,000 each. NatWest won’t be deciding the winners, but it will be up to local people who know the projects and what will benefit your area most.

If you know a local charity, organisation or group which you think would benefit, please ask them to register at: www.natwest.com/communityforce by 4th September.
