VOLUNTEER groups working on horticultural projects can still apply for up to £500.
Funding can be claimed for a variety of projects, with previous groups using money to improve church yards, woodlands, local parks and allotments through planting and gardening.
The scheme is run by Durham County Council and people have until December 7 to apply.
Pauline Walker, senior civic pride officer, said: “The success of previous groups showcases what a great opportunity this is for gardening teams which are volunteer led and horticulturally focused. These projects not only benefit the group but make a difference to the wider community by improving green spaces.”
Interested groups can email civicpride@durham.gov.uk or call 03000 260000.
