The Aviva Community Fund has been in touch to say it awards funding of up to £25,000 for local community projects across a range of categories such as skills for life, health & wellbeing and community support.
Last year they helped more than 450 projects and this year they have even more awards up for grabs.
If you are part of a community group which could do with some additional funding for a special project, do get in touch with Aviva. Applications can be made until 12 noon on 10th October via this link ( https://www.aviva.co.uk/good-thinking/community-fund/ ) There will then be a chance to vote for your favourite projects, with winners announced in January.
