SPORTING clubs and groups in Bury are being encouraged to bid for part of an £80,000 pot of cash.
The Community Foundation for Greater Manchester has funds available to hand out through Sport Relief.
A cash windfall can be granted to organisations which use sport and exercise to strengthen communities, ranging from £250 to £5,000. They can be for a bowling group for older people, aerobic classes for Asian women to five-a-side football tournaments and tennis coaching.
People who have an idea for a sports group, but need money to get it off the ground, can also call the Community Foundation for Greater Manchester on (0161) 2140940.
