A belated Christmas present is still on offer from South Bucks District Council with £22,000 up for grabs for voluntary and community groups.

The pot of funding is open to groups across the district in a bid to help not for profit groups with their running costs so that they can continue to provide vital services and activities for the community they serve.

Grants will not be given to applicants wishing to use the funding to purchase equipment or to put on one off events, such as village fetes as other types of funding are available for these.

The closing date for applications is 5pm on 27th January 2015. For more information, please visit www.southbucks.gov.uk/Grants
