A WEBSITE which offers voluntary and community groups advice on finding funding has received its own cash boost.

The Angus 4 Community site has had its future secured for the next three years thanks to the Angus Community Planning Partnership.

The site is an online resource of grant schemes and trust funds which allows voluntary and community sectors to access and search a comprehensive funding database.

The website was initially funded for a three-year period by the Community Planning Partnership, and after positive statistical feedback on its usage the partnership has again agreed to contribute to the site.

Statistics show that the site has attracted 226,000 hits, 6255 visits and has 410 users, with visitors accessing the site to find out more about local, regional, national government and European Union funding.

It also helps users to explore sources of cash from thousands of charitable trusts as well as the National Lottery and carries case studies of those who have successfully applied for aid as an inspiration to others.

To mark the new funding injection, the site will be re-launched tomorrow at the Community and Learning Centre at Angus College in Arbroath.

At the event will be a variety of guests including representatives from voluntary and community groups, the council, community planning partners and community councils.
