Grants of up to £2,500 to communities across Worcestershire and Herefordshire are being offered as part of a newly launched £70,000 fund.

Customer operations manager Phil Wilson said: "We're delighted to launch this new fund, which we believe could make a real different in the communities we serve.

"All we need now is for groups to get in touch and apply for a grant of up to £2,500."

The fund is open to all community groups and not-for-profit organisations with their own bank account located in the Central Networks region.
