Add your vote for local community groups

Two local groups are applying for funding in the current round of the NatWest CommunityForce initiative, Langport Church Community Trust and South Somerset Links (SSVCA). Links provides transport for anyone who finds it difficult to get to the shops, surgery etc. The Angel project in Langport, run by the Langport Church Community Trust, is expanding its services as a community hub and needs the extra funding to complete essential building work.



In each CommunityForce area they will be making awards of £6,000 each to three community projects with local people deciding the winners by casting their vote. Closing date is Oct 23rd.

Full details of the initiative and registration are available on the CommunityForce website.
You can vote online or by telephone.
