Earlier today, I had the pleasure of chairing the Barney's Fund committee, the charity set up by local business Barnetts Motor Group to help worthy causes in the local area.
We are looking for new applications from local charities and good causes - more details from our news release below:
NEWS RELEASE : Local charity Barney's Fund looking for new applications
Local charities, community groups and worthwhile local projects are set to receive a boost to their fundraising efforts towards the end of this year with the help of Barnetts Motor Group’s Barney’s Charity Fund.
The Barney’s Fund Committee are now accepting applications for its second 2012 tranche of awards and would like to invite local charities, community groups or projects to apply for a small donation or grant to help support their existing fundraising efforts.
Barney’s Fund Committee’s Chairperson Cllr Fraser Macpherson said “We remain keen to support groups or charities who demonstrate an active role in worthwhile community based projects or events and are looking for applications to include some background information, details of any upcoming events and current fundraising efforts as well as future plans.
“We have already made awards to local good causes and the fund is keen to help more charitable activities through its new tranche of awards at the end of November, so I would urge local groups to apply.”
Please send an application letter to Barney’s Fund Committee, Barnetts Motor Group, Riverside Drive, Dundee, DD2 1UG or email barneys@barnettsmotorgroup.co.uk. The closing date for applications is 30th November 2012.
