Cash For Your Community under way to offer £20,000 giveaway
The finalists for the Shropshire Star’s annual community funding awards have been announced.The Shropshire Star is again joining forces with Enterprise Flex-E-Rent to give away £20,000 to good causes.
The 35 groups that have been selected to receive a share of the prize fund have been unveiled.
The group that collected the most tokens last year walked away with a fantastic £5,000, allowing it to expand its lifesaving work in the north of the county. The previous year’s biggest winner bought a machine that could change the lives of disabled children.
But it’s not just about the group which comes top. The organisation which collects the second biggest number of tokens will received £2,000, and the one in third place will get £1,000.
The other 32 groups will receive a share of the remaining £12,000.
In a supplement in today’s Shropshire Star we explain the valuable work that each of these groups performs in their communities, and explains what they intend to do with their share of the money.
