£10,000 Community Cash Givaway

NOMINATIONS have started to flood in for the Ackrill Media Group Community Cash Giveaway. We’re teaming up with Barclay’s Bank to offer Community Groups a chance to win grants of up to £1,000 and there’s a total of £10,000 to be given away. Since launching the competition last week, we've had entries from health charities, arts organisations, community groups and more. And we're hoping that's just the tip of the iceberg. Each application must be made by a registered charity but there are no restrictions on what the money is used for. Successful projects Barclays has helped in the past have included a new primary school play area, a new bingo machine for a social club and a new sensory garden for the blind. Jeremy Windle, Branch Manager for the Harrogate area said: We would encourage everyone to complete their application form as soon as possible. Over the last five years Barclays people have raised over £60 million for their favourite charities with our help through matched fundraising. "Barclays is delighted to be working with Ackrill Media Group and supporting the Community Cash Giveaway." To enter, simply cut out and fill in a coupon in paper - but please specify what you’ll be spending the cash on. The maximum amount each group can apply for is £1,000. The deadline for entries is noon on November 29, 2008. Entries will be judged on December 4 and the winners will be announced at a presentation ceremony on December 19.
