BRITANNIA in Chester is urging community groups, charities and schools to apply for support from its community fund and charitable foundation.
Britannia, part of The Co-operative Financial Services, awarded grants and donations approaching £500,000 in 2010 – including support for Upton Heath Primary School and The Arches Community Primary School in Blacon.
Britannia is keen to promote improvements to education, with a particular focus on numeracy and financial capability.
Manager Elaine Clews, said: “By raising skills and confidence in numeracy and financial capability we can help to enrich lives, enable people to fully participate in society and, make positive contributions to social and financial inclusion in our communities.
“Our support for primary and pre-schools helps to make maths fun for children. At the same time, projects with youth charities provide the skills, confidence and opportunities to inspire young people to realise their potential and can change young lives for the better.
