Ten local community groups picked up Stephen McPartland MP's call to apply for up to £25,000 from the Aviva Community Fund for their projects, and are now looking for your votes to be winners.

Stephen McPartland MP said, "It is fantastic to see so many ideas for projects to help volunteers extend the great work they undertake within local community groups. Please support them with your votes to help turn those ideas into reality."

Groups from Knebworth and Codicote each have one project and the remaining seven are based in Stevenage. Some projects are doing well, but need more votes to be winners and voting is only open until 20th November, with everyone registering having 10 votes for their favourite(s), and winners announced in January. You can vote via Aviva Community Fund's website here
