There is free money up for grabs for community groups in Helston - but only for another few weeks.

Two of Helston’s Cornwall councillors, John Martin and Mike Thomas, have money left in their “community chest” pot.

This is a small grant allowance Cornwall Council members receive each year, to support community projects in their area.

However, all grants must be handed out by the end of February, leaving only five weeks left to apply.

Email Mr Martin via john.martin@cornwallcouncillors.org.uk or Mr Thomas via mike.thomas@cornwallcouncillors.org.uk.

Any applications that cannot be funded through the remaining money can be carried over for consideration in their next community chest budget.
