THERE are less than two weeks left for community groups in Gwent to submit applications for grants of up to £5,000, writes Emily Withers.
The Gwent High Sheriff's Community Fund awards cash to community groups and volunteer organisations, with previous winners including dance groups, scout groups, and community support organisations.
The fund is focused on “supporting community-based initiatives and projects that reduce crime and improve community safety”. Preference is given to “projects which aim to mentor and support young people across Gwent”.

Successful applications will be announced at an event on Saturday, February 29, 2020, in Blaenau Gwent.
