CHARITIES in Berkshire can write themselves a share of a £25,000 prize pot.

Three awards are up for grabs and all it takes is a short letter explaining why they are a deserving cause.

The fund of £25,000 from charity insurer Ansvar is part of its Community Campaign and is aimed at good causes struggling during the cost of living crisis.

Sarah Cox, Managing Director at Ansvar, said: “These are tough times for many charities, so we’re delighted to announce our search for three registered charities to benefit from a £25,000 prize pot.

“We know how much that money will mean to projects being run across the country and the judges are particularly keen to receive entries that provide a detailed outline of how the money would be spent.”

Judges will look for projects that are about to start, or already running, which positively impact the local community.

There is one prize of £15,000 for the overall winner with £5,000 each going to two additional charities.

Applications for funding can be submitted between Monday 6th March and Monday 17th April, with winners announced by Wednesday, May 31.

Charities simply need to complete a short online form and explain in 500 words or less why their project deserves the prize.

Ms Cox added: “We’ve been insuring charitable organisations at the heart of the community for a long time and giving back to the community is an important part of what we do.

“So, we’re really looking forward to hearing from a wide breadth of charities and learning how they could benefit from this funding boost. We strongly urge any eligible charities in need of funding to submit an application.”
