Wootton Bassett Children’s Centre has been shortlisted for a grant of up to £3,000 and is appealing for the community to get behind its bid to land the cash.
The centre has a chance to receive a grant from the Lloyds Bank Community Fund 2014 to continue its work in the community, after the public voted for it to be put on the shortlist.
The Sure Start centre, run by children’s charity Spurgeons, offers children and their carers a range of services, from support for parents-to-be to one-to-one family sessions.
Centre leader Deb Skilton said: “The funding will enable us to develop and improve the service we offer, to better support families affected by domestic abuse in the local area.
“Any extra funding can make a huge difference.”
Members of the public can vote for their preferred community group online, by SMS or Twitter, or in a branch of Lloyds Bank until October 10.
The local good cause that receives most votes in each community will receive an award of £3,000, with the other groups receiving £2,000, £1,000 or £500 depending on the votes received.
