BREAKING NEWS!

The first Pitch4Pounds awards have been made and other bidders invited to make their 'pitches' in May when they will give a brief account of what the funds are needed for and how they will benefit the local community.

Community groups, charities and organisations within the PR25 and PR26 postcode areas were urged to get in touch to apply for cash grants of up to £350 for their projects. These awards are only possible due to Leyland Rotary’s annual fundraising efforts.

So far, Leyland Barracudas Amateur Swimming Club has been awarded £100 to erect a new banner at Leyland Leisure Centre and Heartbeat is using a £350 award to purchase additional exercise equipment to use in their valuable work rehabilitating patients suffering from heart conditions.

Whilst the current round of applications has closed, it is anticipated that this initiative will re-open later in the year. So keep coming back to check!
