9:46am Wednesday 7th May 2008

ORGANISATIONS within a ten-mile radius of Stansted Airport can apply for cash grants.

Trustees of the Stansted Airport Community Trust are seeking applications for the next round of grants.

Community and voluntary groups in parishes within the ten-mile radius can apply for up to £2,000. Applications can be from sports clubs, churches, village halls, scouts and guide packs, and be for items of a capital nature, such as repairs, disabled access, heating systems, hearing loops, lawnmowers and cricket nets.

The closing date for applications, for grants to be awarded in September, is August 31.

For an application form or advice, write to SACT, PO Box 11, County Hall, Chelmsford, Essex, CM1 1LX, or email susan.barker@essex.gov.uk.

The trust does not fund parish council or individuals' projects and does not grant money for completed projects.
