LUDLOW Rotary Club wants to hear from groups and organisations that can do a lot of good with a little extra money.

Last year the Rotary Club of Ludlow was able to invest some £3,000 in a range of local community projects through the initiative ‘Ludlow Rotary Cares.’

This year, following a very successful Ludlow Dog Day event at Stokesay Court held in July, the Club is looking to double that figure to around £6,000.

‘Ludlow Rotary Cares’ is the name the club has given to a scheme aimed at encouraging funding applications from charities and other organisations supporting community life in and around Ludlow which could benefit from a modest grant of up to £500.

The club says that it intends to be very open-minded about the types of activities it will support so long as the project or programme responds to a community need in or within 15 miles of Ludlow and meets its criteria on the giving of grants.

What the club will need to understand is exactly what the money will be used for, who will benefit from it and how much difference it will make.

Organisations that meet the criteria will need to get their applications in Saturday, September 24.

Those which are shortlisted will be invited to an evening event on October 18 at which they will be asked to explain their project for a few minutes to a small panel.

There will also be an opportunity to meet other applicants as well as members of the Rotary club.

More information including an application form is available from the Ludlow Rotary Club website.
