PEOPLE in Bolton who want to make a difference to their communities can now apply for a series of grants.

The Community Foundation is offering grants from £200 up to £1,000 for people who run a project or have an idea which will improve the lives of their fellow residents.

More than £270,000 has been awarded to people across Greater Manchester for projects such as youth football teams to keep children off the streets.
