Applications for a minimum grant of £1,000 and a maximum of £5,000 are invited from community groups within a 15-mile radius of the Melton’s branches in Melton Mowbray, Grantham and Oakham.

Chief executive Martin Reason said: “The Melton is as committed today as it was 140 years ago to supporting the communities in which we live and work. As an organisation owned by our members, we understand the positive effect from people working together and helping each other. We believe we have a responsibility to our community and the local economy and we hope our anniversary fund will help make a difference to local good causes.”
