The Northern Bank has launched a third round of its Community Grants programme 
which will provide £100,000 for local community activities that support knowledge
or learning, the arts, or community sport. Rosamond Bennett, Head of Communications,
Northern Bank explained, “This is the third round of our very popular Community 
Grants programme and we’re expecting our biggest number of entries yet. Over the
past two rounds we have received over 1000 applications, made155 awards and invested
£200,000 in local communities throughout Northern Ireland. “The projects we have
supported are very wide ranging. They demonstrate how active our lo-cal communities
are and what a valuable contribution they make to our society. Examples include 
a drama production to raise awareness of road safety, art workshops for hospital
patients, literacy days, introduction to gaelic games coaching, young master golf
masterclasses, historical lectures and a fairy forest art project at a nursery school.
Hundreds of people from the young to the young at heart have benefited from these
sorts of projects.” Not for profit organisations working at a local grass roots 
level are eligible to apply for a grant of between £500 and £5000. Application forms
are available from all Northern Bank branches and online at the bank’s website. 
The closing date for application is 12 noon Friday 29 February 2007. www.northernbank.
