SMALL community groups could be in for a cash windfall by applying for a donation from Skipton Building Society’s award-winning Grassroots Giving scheme.
This year, a total of £81,000 is up for grabs and anyone interested in finding out more can visit the Sale branch of the society on June 9 when a special Grassroots Giving Open Day is being held.
Kerry Ghadie, manager at Skipton’s Sale branch, said: “Grassroots Giving is all about helping the small community groups which would not normally gain any financial support.
“Not only can we help them try to win a £500 donation, we can also show them how to access free resources and to join an online community where they can learn so much about how to improve the running of their organisation.
This is the third year Skipton has run its Grassroots Giving scheme. In previous years, a total of £160,500 has been donated to 321 small community groups across the country.
Applications opened on May 1 and anyone wishing to find out more can visit the Grassroots Giving website at www.skiptongrg.co.uk.
