To apply, applicants need to fill in an application form found via the Progress Housing Group website ( www.progressgroup.org.uk) and send it to community@progressgroup.org.uk or post it to Sumner House, 21 King Street, Leyland, Lancashire, PR25 2LW. Deadline for applications is Sunday April 27.

The winning project will receive up to £1,000 from the Group’s Community Investment Fund. The five other projects will receive half of the funding they requested, up to £200.
Sam Beattie, Customer Voice Officer at Progress Housing Group, said: “Our Soup Dragon’s Den is a great opportunity for groups to apply for funding from our Community Investment Fund to help them get going, or to grow their project.
“So if you are a community or voluntary group, or individual with a great idea for a community project, we would love to hear from you.
“The event is free to attend, so anyone is welcome to join us for soup and crumble. It is a great night where you hear about the amazing work of community groups.”
