Registered charities and not for profit organisations are invited to enter their projects into the awards scheme under one of three categories:- Projects which help people to have a healthy relationship with money, projects which help people to improve their local environment and projects which help people into employment. Five projects will be selected in each of the three categories and all 15 winners will be awarded £5,000 each.

Debbie Crosbie, Clydesdale and Yorkshire Banks chief operating officer and chair of the Yorkshire and Clydesdale Bank Foundation, said: “Yorkshire Bank’s Spirit of the Community Awards aim to recognise and support the vital contribution that voluntary and charitable projects make to their local communities and there is still time for groups to enter.”
