THE deadline is fast approaching for Dorset’s social, voluntary and community sector to submit their application for financial support with their running costs.

The Organisational Support Revenue Fund (OSRF) will provide core revenue support to local community organisations that address the needs of disadvantaged, under served and marginalized communities in Dorset.

Those organisations can apply for a grant of between £5,000 - £10,000 per annum for up to two years to help with their running costs.

All applications must be received by Friday April 1 and must be submitted on the council’s online application form.

Awards will be made on April 20.
