Helen Mitchell, chair of the Trust Jack Foundation, who won the top Community Connect award of £15,000 funding in May, said: “Scotmid’s Community Connect is a fantastic initiative – the funding has enabled us to help more young people and made a big difference.”
“We would definitely encourage good cause groups to apply for a Community Connect award; it has helped us to bring an important project to life in our area.”
Applications should be made via the Scotmid website, Scotmid.coop by 5pm on Friday, August 30.
