Deserving groups in the Coalville area are being urged to act quickly and apply for a share of £5,000 as a local housebuilder's funding scheme comes to a close.

 Redrow East Midlands, which is currently building at Hugglescote Grange, created the community fund to support as many local groups, organisations and individuals as possible, and is now welcoming applications.  

Whether funds are required for football kits to help sporty youngsters, to aid a vital new charity helping to feed struggling families or to support a local animal shelter in need of new dog beds, Redrow East Midlands says its initiative can help. 

The fund, which started in 2020, aims to help local organisations with specific donations and give them the tools they need to continue to thrive.

Ryan O'Sullivan, Sales Director for Redrow East Midlands, said: "As the fund comes into its final weeks, we are urging charities and community groups to apply for a chance to secure their share of the pot.

"We're always looking for new ways we can help support thriving communities in the local area and we invite groups to share their stories with us and let us know what they need to keep doing their fantastic work.

"No cause is too small and we really want to make a difference, so apply now to avoid missing out."

The fund will close at 11:59pm on Saturday,  August 31.
