Community groups need your votes to get hands on cash boost
COMMUNITY groups in the Rotherham area in the running for a cash injection — but they need your vote.
A total of 66 Yorkshire and Humber based groups have all been shortlisted for Skipton Building Society's Grassroots Giving campaign, which this year has £82,000 to donate.
Now they are looking to secure enough public votes to become one of the 164 community groups across the country which will all receive pots of £500.
The good causes from Rotherham and the surrounding area on the shortlist include:
- Friends in Harmony
- Friends of St. Georges Churchyard Brinsworth
- Friends of the Blue Loop
- Maltby Musical Theatre Group
- Rotherham Carers’ Forum
- Tinsley Meadows Primary Academy
- Valley Knights JFC
Voting is open until Friday, October 13, and can be cast by either going online and visiting www.skiptongrg.co.uk or in any Skipton Building Society branch.
