IF you run a small charitable group in Warrington, the Warrington Charities Trust may be able to help you.

Every year they distribute thousands of pounds to hard working groups who find it difficult to raise their own funds.

They offer grants of up to £750 for projects and activities, and this includes contributions to general running costs.

The deadline for the summer round of grant allocations is Friday, May 29.
