Craig Mackinlay MP is urging community groups in his South Thanet constituency to apply for funding via the Aviva Community Fund, which launched last week.

The Aviva Community Fund awards funding of up to £25,000 for local community projects across a range of categories such as skills for life, health & wellbeing and community support. Last year Aviva had over 450 winners and this year they have even more awards up for grabs.

Applications can be made until 12 noon on 10 October via this link, with winners announced in January.

Aviva have a team on hand to answer any queries who can be contacted at: avivacommunityfund@charitiestrust.org / 0151 284 1018.

Craig Mackinlay MP commented:

“I hope all community groups and charities in South Thanet will want to apply to the Aviva Community Fund. With funding of up to £25,000 available for a variety of community projects, a successful application could make a real difference to the lives of local people. Applications are open until 10 October so there is still plenty of time to apply.”
