Lucy Halls with the cash
The Weston & Somerset Mercury has teamed up with Homeserve to donate £5,000 to one community group, project or school in the area.

The cash is up for grabs for those who can demonstrate what they do to help the community and how the cash could be used to achieve even more.

Homeserve At Home director of human resources Paul Tebbutt said: "We are keen to offer a charity or school some support to help them make a real difference.

"We're delighted to be involved and I'm sure we'll find a worthy winner amongst Weston & Somerset Mercury readers."
