COMMUNITY organisations in Bridgwater are being reminded that the deadline is looming for applications for grants at the end of December.
Debt advice agencies, schools and colleges, parish councils, youth clubs, social enterprises and other community organisations have until December 31 to apply for a grant from Wessex Water to help with a money management or financial capability project.
Applications of up to £10,000 will be considered by a panel of experts, whether it be a new project or an ongoing one, and the awards will be given out in January 2015.
Wessex Water’s head of customer relations, Sue Lindsay said that supporting money management and financial capability projects across the region was vital for helping customers organise their household bills.
“For some customers, understanding and managing money doesn’t come easy.
“We want to equip our young people with the necessary money management skills.”
