Deadline looms for Community Chest Fund

There is just a week to go until the lid on South East Water’s Community Chest is closed to bids for a share of £20,000.

Community groups, charities and not-for-profit organisations can apply for a donation of £2,000 up until midnight on 31 March.

Applications are open to group projects within the water company’s supply area of parts of Kent, Sussex, Surrey, Berkshire and Hampshire that are water or environment related or help the young, old or disadvantaged.

Tanya Sephton, Customer Services Director, South East Water, said: “As an essential part of the local communities we provide top quality drinking water to, doing the right thing for the environment and society is at the heart of our purpose.

“We know this matters to our customers, communities and employees so this fund will help develop projects that can make a difference.”

All requests for funding are to be submitted by midnight on 31 March. Successful organisations will be informed about their funding from 18 April with the presentations of the grants taking place soon afterwards.
