Give Me Five
Make a Difference – with a £5,000 Community Award
A Treasure chest worth £5,000 is up for grabs for a community group or local charity in Newport and Gwent this summer – with your South Wales Argus.
Principality Building Society has teamed up with the South Wales Argus to give away £5,000 to a group or charity in the region to help make a difference to the community it serves.
The Argus-Principality Give Me Five campaign aims to give community groups and charities the chance to kick-start, complete or continue the good work of a worthwhile project close to the needs of its community.
Launched by Principality chief executive Peter Griffiths, the £5,000 awards will be given to community groups or local charities operating at a community level.
Mr Griffiths said: “The Argus-Principality Give Me Five £5,000 award will be given to a clearly-defined project which is making – or will make – a difference to the people within its community.
From today, Argus readers are being asked to nominate the community projects and local charities they think are worthy of receiving the £5,000 Give Me Five award.
Don’t forget, the group, project or local charity that you think deserves the money needs to show it is making a real difference to its community – and the £5,000 would help to make a real difference to your nominated project.
Nominations for the £5,000 treasure chest can be made for projects and local charities covering activities for people of all ages in the community you live and work in.
It may be a youth group set up to help keep local children off the streets at night and in urgent need of new equipment; a voluntary scheme that offers a helping hand to older people; or a project involving teenagers painting, decorating and renovating a local community facility.
If you are involved in a project – or you benefit from or just know of one – that could do with a £5,000 injection of support to make a big difference to your community, then here’s your chance to apply for the Argus-Principality Give Me Five award.
Nominations can be made by calling Give Me Five awards co-ordinator Pat Ashman on Cardiff 029 2077 3318; or pick up an application form at any Principality Building Society branch.
