Community groups in Stockport are once again being given the chance to apply for a share of up to £10,000 of funding.
The annual Vernon Building Society Community Awards now is open for applications from Stockport based not-for-profit groups
Over seven years the awards have donated more than £70,000 to worthy causes in the community.

This year the Vernon are again offering £10,000 to not-for-profit organisations who dedicate themselves to supporting the local Stockport community.

Once applications have been received, 14 organisations will be shortlisted as finalists, who will be awarded a minimum of £250 to a maximum of £1,500.
Stockport County Community Foundation’s Adrian Rigby-Bates said: "We as a charity, were delighted to have been chosen as one of the 14 finalists taking place in the voting for the 2018 Community Awards which has not only helped to raise invaluable funds for our Mental Health Football and Multisport Project but also helped build awareness about the good work that we do."
