Martyn Day, MP for Linlithgow and East Falkirk, is urging local small charities, social enterprises and community groups which could benefit from a £10,000 grant to apply to the CSJ Awards.
The Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) wants to raise awareness of small and innovative groups and charities.
Four winners will receive a £10,000 grant and their work will be showcased in front of hundreds of leading figures from across the country.
Mr Day said it’s important that groups are aware of all the help available to them after the challenging times brought by the pandemic.
He added: “The past year has been difficult for all of us, but particularly for the local charities and community groups who work so hard to support our most vulnerable neighbours and families throughout Linlithgow and East Falkirk.
“I would encourage all organisations which may be eligible to apply: these groups deserve national recognition. Previous award winners have been profiled on primetime television, had their services endorsed by Government and have secured additional funding because of the exposure that the CSJ Awards gave them.”
Applications for the 2022 awards are now open and close on August 31 2021.
