THE Warrington Guardian is once again offering charities in the area the chance to apply for a Gannett grant with up to £10,000 on offer.

The Gannett Foundation is the charitable arm of Gannett Co, Inc, owner of Newsquest Media Group, which makes media publications across the UK including the Warrington Guardian.

The Gannett Foundation provides funding to support projects and organisations in areas where Newsquest operates.

In the last 10 years, the Gannett Foundation has made grants in the UK totalling nearly £4 million.

Each year a special theme is chosen and 2016 will focus on the needs of rural communities.

But equal consideration will be given to other applications that meet the general criteria.

Last year funding went to a variety of projects across the country including providing four tents for 10th Warrington (St Mary’s) Scout Group in Great Sankey.

Deadline for entries is October 14, 2016.
