COMMUNITY projects are being urged to apply for a share of more than £4million funding from the People's Postcode Lottery.

Both charities and community groups are eligible to apply for grants of between £500 and £20,000, available through one of three separate trusts.

During the last funding round, 400 projects across the country received the funding during the last allocation.

Clara Govier, head of charities at People's Postcode Lottery, said: "More than £4 million injected into grass roots projects across Great Britain will have a tremendous impact in local communities.

"Between the three Trusts, a very wide range of causes are supported, so I’d urge groups to have a look at the websites to see where their project fits – no matter how big or small – and get applying."
