Mawnan Fun Run Committee is inviting youth groups to apply for small grants from the money raised at last year’s event.

The run last September raised a total of £1,000, with half going to the Falmouth Rotary Club Charity Fund, and the committee is offering organisations up to £150 from the remaining amount for projects which will benefit the young people of Mawnan Parish.

Rod Allday, chairman of the committee, said: “It was great to see so many children and young people taking part in the fun run and this is our opportunity to give something back to them.

“We look forward to receiving the grant applications by the end of June and distributing the grants during July”.

The application form and criteria can be found on the Mawnan Fun Run website at www.mawnanfunrun.org.uk/charities and should be submitted no later than June 30. Rod Allday can be contacted for more information on 07775 737473.
