Salisbury Reds’ Community Fund is nearing the end of its April 2024 allocation window for local groups.

Charities, schools, sports teams and events organisers are encouraged to apply online this month for a chance to receive financial assistance, free travel or marketing support.

With only two months annually when funding and help are available, it's vital these groups don't miss out.

Salisbury Journal: The bus operator's fund offers both financial backing and practical support

Andrew Sherrington, Salisbury Reds general manager, said: "As an established part of the local community, we are pleased to be able to build strong relationships with those living here.

"Of course, we provide a comprehensive network of bus services here, but we also want to provide a boost to groups and organisations who work hard to improve the wellbeing of those living in the region.

"Anyone who feels they meet this criteria can apply to the Salisbury Reds Community Fund - but they must do so before the end of this month to benefit from April’s allocation.

"We introduced the fund to ensure a fair distribution of the support we provide here - and we are looking forward to helping more worthy causes over the coming weeks."

Full details and applications are available on the Salisbury Reds' website.
