Community projects in Nottinghamshire have been invited to enter an awards programme that could see them share funding of £75,000.

Now in its fifth year, the Yorkshire Bank Spirit Of The Community Awards 2017 is open for applications until Monday, 6th March.

Five projects will be selected in each of three categories and all 15 winners will be awarded £5,000 each.

Registered charities and not-for-profit organisations are invited to enter their projects under one of three categories — projects that help people to have a healthy relationship with money; projects that help people to improve their local environment; and projects that help people into employment.

For further information and an application form go to www.ybonline.co.uk/foundation or any Yorkshire Bank branch.
