BUSINESSES are being invited to a Plain Action Grants Workshop on October 30.

The last round of grant funding, which ended in December 2013, saw £1.6 million being distributed to 49 local businesses.

The grants can be used for capital equipment, fitting out workspaces, marketing, website design and efficiency savings in fuel, or production, to name a few. Now Tidworth & District Chamber of Commerce is hosting a workshop for you to find out more, and help people apply for the next round of grants.

The workshop will be held at TEN, Castledown Enterprise Centre, Ludgershall SP11 9FA, from 7.30am until 9am. The speaker will be Alan Truscott.

Tickets are £6 for chamber members and £10 for non-members, to include tea/coffee and a bacon roll. Go to eventbrite.co.uk to book.
