COMMUNITY groups are invited to enter an awards programme which could land them a share of £75,000.

Yorkshire Bank’s Spirit of the Community Awards, now in its third year, is open for applications from registered charities and not-for-profit organisations.

Three categories will have an overall winner of £10,000, along with three highly commended prizes of £5,000.

Debbie Crosbie, the Clydesdale and Yorkshire Bank executive director and newly-appointed chairman of Yorkshire and Clydesdale Bank Foundation, said: “Yorkshire Bank’s Spirit of the Community Awards aim to recognise and support the invaluable contribution that voluntary and charitable organisations make to their local communities.”
