ORGANISATIONS in Oswestry looking for financial support during the second lockdown can apply to the town council.

With the lockdown officially set to end on December 2, there are fears it may be extended towards Christmas, meaning groups may be unable to raise funds over a busy period.

Oswestry Town Clerk Arren Roberts urged groups to utilise grant payments, at a maximum of £250 depending on needs, to help them through the period.

He said: "Oswestry Town Council has allocated a fund to help local organisations who support those in the community who are most in need during this difficult time.

"Grants up to a maximum of £250 per application can be provided but organisations can make up to four applications and each one will be considered on merit.

"Application forms can be obtained from sandra.trevor@oswestry-tc.gov.uk"
