MP urges groups to bid for pot of money

It comes as Morrisons wants to give away some of the cash made by selling plastic bags.

Nationally the Morrisons Foundation handed out more than £2.4m in grants to charities in 2015.

‘This funding is a great opportunity for many local community groups to get the funding boost that they need.’

A statement from the MP’s office added: ‘It is important to support our local charities and help them continue their vital work and by getting involved with the Morrisons Foundation they could receive donations that are so important to the local community.
