THE Big Lottery Fund is keen to hear from groups in Blackburn with Darwen who are seeking small grants.

Through its Awards For All programme, groups can access funding of between £300 and £10,000 to fund projects which address the issues, needs and aspirations of local communities and people.

It will fund a wide range of community projects aimed at developing skills, improving health, revitalising the local environment and enabling people to become more active citizens.

You can apply to Awards For All if you are a community not-for-profit group, parish or town council, health body or school.

You do not need to be a registered charity to apply.
