GROUPS are being urged to apply for community area grants before funding runs out.

There is currently £30,000 left in the Wiltshire Council fund until March 2017 and groups can apply for up to £5,000 for projects.

Funding is available to help provide facilities, equipment and projects that are important to the local community.
