Local MP Alan Campbell is asking community groups and local charities across Tynemouth to think about what they could do with up to £20,000 this year.

Charities and community groups can apply to receive grants of between £500 and £20,000 raised by players of People’s Postcode Lottery.

Between 14 and 28 February 2018, charities are being urged to submit an expression of interest in the funding, which requires basic details about the organisation, as well as a very short description of the project they are proposing.

Local MP Alan Campbell said “This is an opportunity not to be missed. We know that there are many charities already doing fantastic work across the constituency, but I have no doubt that for many this additional funding would be most welcomed. A successful application could help your group deliver an extra special project or expand the existing service. I encourage as many local charities as possible to apply.”
