Local charities and voluntary organisations have been given extra time to apply for a portion of the funds from next year’s 20th anniversary Saffery Rotary Walk.
Charities had until Friday 25 November to submit an application but this date has now been extended to 12 noon on Friday 9 December.
Submissions for projects of all sizes will be considered and can be made by any locally registered charity or not for profit organisation in need of financial support for a specific initiative. Applications for funds to cover running costs will not be considered.
A brand new website has been launched in celebration of the walk’s 20th anniversary and application forms can be downloaded from the site.
This year’s Saffery Rotary Walk, sponsored by Saffery Champness, supported a record 18 local community projects that received funding from the £57,526 raised.
Simon Milsted, chair of the walk’s organising committee, said: “We are really keen for any locally-registered charity or organisation to apply to receive funds from the 20th anniversary walk so that we can help make a huge difference to a host of very worthy causes.
“A range of applications have been submitted so far but we are looking to support as many local charitable projects as possible to spur on our walkers’ fundraising efforts.”
Application forms can be downloaded online on the new website: www.safferyrotarywalk.com and submitted via email to info@safferyrotarywalk.com. Forms can also be collected from and submitted to Saffery Champness’ office at La Tonnelle House, Les Banques, St Sampson’s. Applications must be received no later than 12pm on Friday 9 December2016.
Next year’s Saffery Rotary Walk will take place on Saturday 3 June, 2017.
Online walker registration for the 2017 walk will soon be open, and walkers can find out more online at www.safferyrotarywalk.com.
