The BFBS Big Salute fundraising campaign is now inviting forces charities to apply for project-based grants.
Nicky Ness, Director of Forces Broadcasting and Entertainment said: “Since the Big Salute was established in 2007 we’ve donated funds to five core charities, but lots of forces charities have contacted us to find out how they can get involved and benefit.
“We’ve now changed the format so that money raised through the Big Salute will fund specific projects chosen by our Big Salute Committee.”
Full details are available at www.ssvc.com/#big-salute-terms-conditions where charities can complete an online application or download a pdf of the form.
The deadline for entries is Monday 31st July and monies will be allocated to successful applicants before the end of September 2017.
