Community and voluntary groups in Oakworth are being invited to bid for grants of up to £100 each.

Oakworth Forward is offering the money for projects that will help create a clean, green, safe, and thriving village for residents.

The group, managed by volunteers, has already given out two sets of grants, and the latest one will be the last.

Three months ago, Oakworth Forward shared £410 between five ventures, including the new Sticky Fingers arts and crafts group at Holden Hall.

Sticky Fingers leader Marnie Owen said: “The grant enabled us to provide creative and sensory crafts for children aged up to five, and helps us provide a healthy snack each week.”

Other projects included Oakworth Primary School Eco Club, Oakworth in Bloom and the Fairy Fest.

Application forms are available by e-mailing shaun@kivca.org.uk. Applications will be discussed at the next Oakworth Forward meeting on September 12.
