THE Wellington branch of RGB Building Supplies is looking to support charities and community groups that care for and provide activities for people aged over 65.

People involved in groups that support the ageing generation are invited to apply for £1,000 from RGB’s Well Built Community Fund.

Whether a care home would like to renovate a room for the benefit of its residents, a charity needs materials to help organise activities or a community group is planning to create an outdoor area that older people can enjoy, RGB would like to hear about it.

From all the nominations received, three will be chosen to go through to a vote where the public will be asked to decide who will receive the donation.

Paul Fleming, branch manager at RGB Wellington, said: “There are a number groups and charities in the area that offer fantastic support to the older generation in our community and we look forward to hearing how we can now give them a helping hand.”

To apply, groups simply need to contact RGB explaining how £1,000 to spend at an RGB branch would be of benefit to them. 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 Tuesday, July 31.

Further information about the different categories being supported by the Community Fund can be found on RGB’s website at www.rgbltd.co.uk
