With only a few more days until the ‘firmus energy 3K Giveaway’ closes, now is your chance to get a slice of £3000, which the company is offering non-funded organisations located in Ballymoney Borough Council. The closing date is Friday 17 October 2008.
firmus energy launched this initiative last year and due to its success, the company has once again teamed up with Ballymoney Times and the local council to give charitable organisations, church and community groups the opportunity to receive financial help for much needed items or extras.
Mark Prentice, general manager for firmus energy explains, “We supply natural gas to 12 towns and cities across the province and believe it is important to proactively make a difference in each community. This 3K Giveaway will therefore help local voluntary organisations, community or church groups by providing them with funds to purchase often much-appreciated extras that can sometimes seem out of financial reach.
Mark continues, “Although we have already had a great response to this year’s 3K Giveaway, we don’t want any deserving groups to miss out on this opportunity and so I would urge any local non-funded organisations to apply as soon as possible.
“To request a donation, simply write to: firmus energy Ballymoney Giveaway c/o Davidson Cockcroft, Bamford House, 91-93 Saintfield Road, Belfast, BT8 7HN. Please give brief details of the following; name and type of organisation (eg charity, church group), what funds you require and how you plan to spend the money, the number of members in your group, the age range of your members, where your group is based and anything else you feel may be relevant. It is vital that you include the name of the council in which the group is located and your contact name, address and telephone number and is to reach us by Friday 17 October 2008.”
“Even if all you need is a new kettle or comfortable cushions for your clubhouse, why not apply for firmus energy to provide it! No request is too small and the maximum amount given out to one particular group is £1000 so get writing and we look forward to hearing how firmus energy can help!
