GRANTS of up to £1,000 are available to groups in Great Lever to provide activities or projects for people in the area.

The funding is available to groups covered by the area's Neighbourhood Pathfinder, which was set up in 2002 to give residents the chance to have a say in housing, policing, education and health.

Priority will be given to projects that benefit people across the area and applications must be submitted by February 9.
