Last year, eight charities across Scotland benefited, including three based in Glasgow - Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland, which received £2897.65, cancer support centre Maggie’s Glasgow which banked £3900.41, and animal welfare charity Beloved Rabbits which received £1175.66.

Glasgow Times:

Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland allocated their portion of the funding to its service supporting people returning home from the hospital, while the team at Beloved Rabbits in Kirkintilloch used the funding to pay vet bills associated with preparing rabbits for their new home.

Maggie’s Glasgow used its windfall to help fund its Where Now? course which supports people with a cancer diagnosis after their treatment has finished. The course provides attendees with skills and techniques to support them through the transition period and beyond.

Perhaps you volunteer or work for a local charity, or have had support from one? Tell us why they should win a share of this cash.

The closing date for nominations is September 4, 2022.

Once all nominations have been received, our editor will select the most deserving causes to be featured in this year’s grants scheme. 

We will then put the power to allocate the cash back into your hands – for four weeks, readers will be invited to collect tokens from our newspapers which can then be sent to collection points across our region or posted. 

Each token collected will be counted and used to allocate cash to the nominated charity – so if your favourite charity collects 50 percent of all tokens collected, it will receive 50 percent of the cash pot.

The £16,000 cash is being provided by our parent company’s charitable arm, The Gannett Foundation.  This year the Gannett Foundation will donate £128,000 to charities across the country.
