SCHOOLS, charities and community groups have the chance of winning £1,000 of building materials for a project with an autumnal theme.

RGB Building Supplies, which has premises in Wellington and Wiveliscombe, has reopened its Well Built Community Fund and is seeking nominations. Maybe a charity needs to make repairs to ensure a building is safe for winter or perhaps an amateur dramatic group needs help with staging for an autumn performance.

Groups can nominate their project by explaining how the building materials could help. Nominations can be made by email to [email protected] or by post to RGB Community Fund, c/o PMW Communications, PO Box 167, Bideford, Devon, EX39 9DU. The closing date for nominations is Sunday, August 27.

From all the nominations received three groups will be selected as finalists, then the local community will be asked to vote for who they would like to receive the building materials.
