A TIVERTON firm is offering a grant of £1,000 to care homes and nursing homes in the town.

RGB Building Supplies, which has a branch in the town, has previously donated materials to a charity, a sports club, a school and a community group, and care and nursing homes in the area are now invited to apply for the donation to help them complete renovation or refurbishment projects.

Perhaps a home needs to update its communal areas, complete essential repairs or renovate an outdoor area - whatever the project, RGB would like to hear about it.

Rob Allen, RGB operations manager, said: “We launched our Well Built Community Fund back in April and since then it has proved to be ext-remely popular.

“It has highlighted the number of fantastic groups, charities and organisations there are in the area, and we're delighted to welcome in the New Year with one more giveaway to care homes and nursing homes.”

Care and nursing homes can contact RGB and explain what project they need building materials for and how the support will help them.

One group will be chosen from all the nominations to receive £1,000 worth of materials.

Nominations can be made by emailing RGB@pmwcom. co.uk or by sending a letter to RGB Community Fund, c/o PMW Communications, PO Box 167, Bideford, Devon EX39 9DU.

The closing date for nominations is Monday, February 9.
