Community groups in Yorkshire are being invited to bid for funding from Vantage Toyota’s Community Drive scheme.

The company’s six Toyota centres across the North of England will each be giving away £2,000 to support worthwhile causes.

The initiative is inviting community groups, clubs and deserving individuals to submit a bid describing how they will spend the money and how this will benefit their local area.

It will be open to all and could include everything from supporting community music groups to kitting out the local youth football team or supporting an up-and-coming sports star.

Once all entries have been received, a shortlist of potential finalists will be compiled with the overall winner in each area to be decided by a public vote.

To enter the competition, Vantage Toyota has created a dedicated website which can be visited at www.vantage.toyota.co.uk/communitydrive
