The latest application deadlines for a grant scheme covering three parishes in north Shropshire have been announced.

The Three Parishes Big Local, covering Weston Rhyn, St Martins and Gobowen has announced the latest application deadlines for their Community Chest and Big Grants programmes.

Any group or organisation with an idea for a project in one of the areas which fits with the aspirations of the Three Parishes Big Local programme is invited to apply by 5pm on May 15.

Applications will then be up for consideration at the group’s May meeting.

Any applications received beyond that date will instead be considered in September.

Partnership Chairman Nick Heard said: “Our grants programmes enable local groups and clubs in many different ways including learning new skills, trying new things and buying new equipment.

“Over the last five years we have supported more than 70 different projects, awarding grants ranging from £120 to £30,000. We hope to support many more over the next few years.”

More information about both grant schemes and copies of application forms are available by visiting www.big-local.org or by contacting Bridget or Paula at Qube on 01691 656882.
