VOLUNTARY and community groups in Colne can now receive advice on funding for projects through a newsletter.

The Open Door Community Development project, based at the Open Door Centre, launched the newsletter for groups working in the Waterside and Vivary Bridge areas of the town.

It identifies potential sources of funding and information provided includes details about the type of projects being targeted by particular funds, how to apply, how much funding might be available and contact details.

The newsletter aims to help groups identify funders and apply for grants. Ann McIvor, project community development co-ordinator, said: "I hope they find it useful."
