The Postcode Neighbourhood Trust will be accepting applications every month until October 2021.

And Rother Valley MP Alexander Stafford is urging local charities across Rother Valley to apply for these funds.

Alexander Stafford MP said: “Over the last year many local charities have responded to the covid pandemic by working to support and protect our communities. Yet the last year has also been a difficult time for charity fundraising.

“The funds raised by People’s Postcode Lottery players and available to local charities are therefore a great chance for local organisations to secure funding.

“Players of People’s Postcode Lottery have already raised more than £700 million for good causes and I would love to see some more successful applicants from Rother Valley, so I urge all local charities and community groups to consider submitting an application.”

People’s Postcode Lottery’s Head of Public Affairs, Malcolm Fleming said: “People’s Postcode Lottery players are making a massive difference to charities across the country, and we are delighted that this year the funding available for local charities should more than double.

"We urge all interested organisations to visit the trust website to find out more about the funding available and how to submit an application.”
