A major pharmaceutical company operating in Ayrshire is offering non-profit groups across the region a chance to apply for a share of £10,000.
GSK Irvine has launched its annual community awards applications which benefits registered charities and organisations.
Only three groups will be selected and each charity will be awarded between £2,000 and £5,000.
Colin Nivison, site director of GSK Irvine, said: “The annual local community awards is an opportunity for us to recognise organisations committed to improving our local community and the lives of people who live in Ayrshire.
"It’s really humbling to see the magnificent work and commitment within the community from a wide range of organisations.
"Last year, we were delighted with the number of applicants from organisations to our awards.
"When we assess the applications, we look at how the funding will be used and consider both the number of beneficiaries as well as the impact the organisation has on their clients’ lives. We also consider any funding that we have granted in the past."
Last year, GSK awarded Hillhouse, a charity that supports individuals and families experiencing financial hardship, £4,000.
Break the Silence, a charity that supports survivors of childhood rape and sexual assault, was awarded £3,000.
And Aoife’s Sensory Bus was also awarded £3,000.
Mr Nivison added: "I am delighted to invite applicants from organisations across Ayrshire, who are dedicated to improving the local Ayrshire community and make a real difference to people’s lives, to apply for these prestigious awards."
Those wishing to apply to fund a specific activity or purpose should contact the site engagement leader Sharon Baillie by emailing sharon.e.baillie@gsk.com for an application form. Applications close on Wednesday, August 31.
