SPORTS and arts groups in Bromsgrove are being urged to put their names down for a lottery grant.

Bromsgrove District Council's sports development unit is inviting clubs, organisations and schools involved in developing sports and arts to attend a special Awards for All meeting to help them get funding.

Grants of between £500 and £5,000 can be given.

Council leader Cllr Nick Psirides (Con, Norton) said: "Such an award can make a lot of difference to your club and to the community.

"We are very keen to help clubs help themselves and the meeting is a chance for everyone to learn about funding opportunities."

It will be held in the Burcot Room, at the Council House, in Burcot Lane, on Wednesday April 25 at 7.30pm. To book a place, call Adrian Bradley on (01527) 881315.
