ENCOURAGING LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS TO APPLY FOR FUNDING

Postcode Local Trust - a grant-giving charity funded by players of People’s Postcode Lottery - has opened its latest funding round and the deadline for applications is Friday, September 30, at 5pm.

The kind of projects that are likely to be funded will improve local ecology and habitats, encourage bio-diversity and benefit the wider environment. Groups can apply for funding ranging from £500 - £20,000.

I am encouraging interested organisations across my constituency to apply for funding by visiting the website at: www.postcodelocaltrust.org.uk

This is an exciting prospect for all local environmental groups that are in need of a boost and I’d urge them to get their applications in before the deadline.

All local organisations should take advantage of this funding which could be the catalyst for getting their projects up and running.
