CHARITIES and community groups interested in applying for the Monmouthshire Building Society’s Community Acorn Fund have until September 30 to submit applications.

The fund was launched to mark the Society reaching the financial milestone of £1 billion pounds in assets, with a view to giving back to local groups and projects.

A £25,000 funding pool has been allocated across the Society’s branch and agency network, and local community groups are encouraged to apply for funding.

For full information and guidance on how to apply please visit www.acornfund.co.uk.

Application forms are available from the website, and from any Monmouthshire Building Society branch or agency office.
