“I’ve been raising funds through the Mayor’s charity appeal since I took office in May last year and now it’s time to give back to the community.
“We’re looking to fund community projects which will benefit a wide range of Salford residents. The funding might go towards refurbishing a community building or park, providing equipment or a project to help people improve their health. We’re open to all ideas.
“Grants of up to £500 may also be available to help people achieve individual goals or challenges. We might pay for training or equipment or fund travel costs if that’s what they need to make it happen.”
Councillor Connor said fundraising will continue until the end of his year in office in May with a charity racing evening on Feb 9, a quiz on Feb 22 and the Ceremonial Mayor’s ball planned.
Applications are now being accepted for the community chest and it will continue making grants until the funds are used up.
