THE Young at Heart Club based at Burlescombe Community Hall is appealing for votes to help it win hundreds of pounds to fund activities.

The club has reached the shortlist for funding in the Skipton Building Society Grassroots Giving Initiative.

The scheme has received 740 applications from across the UK and the club has been shortlisted to receive funding.

The club applied for £500 to help it continue to provide support to older people.

Wellington couple Lloyd and Diana Yorke founded the club in 2014 to help tackle loneliness and isolation among the over-60s.
