The deadline for applications is Thursday 13 November 2014 at 10.00am.

I would encourage anyone who is undertaking, or thinking of undertaking, a project which improves the lives of people in Haverhill to apply. A sum of £5,000 is a lot of money and could make a real difference to your project and your community.”
