GOOD causes in Glasgow could win a share of £16,000.

The Glasgow Times is giving city charities the chance to share in a massive cash giveaway.

Good causes across Glasgow could benefit from the windfall - and it is up to you to decide who gets the money.

We want to hear from readers which charities should win - but you do not have long. The closing date is September 4. All you have to do is nominate your favourite. Simply click on to our Glasgow Times Readers Choice link and fill in the form.

You can also write to us at: Readers' Choice Cash for Charity Nominations, Glasgow Times, 125 Fullarton Drive, Glasgow, G32 8FG.

Last year, eight charities across Scotland benefited, including three based in Glasgow - Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland, which received £2897.65, cancer support centre Maggie’s Glasgow which banked £3900.41, and animal welfare charity Beloved Rabbits which received £1175.66.

Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland allocated their portion of the funding to its service supporting people returning home from hospital, while the team at Beloved Rabbits in Kirkintilloch used the funding to pay vet bills associated with preparing rabbits for their new home.

Maggie’s Glasgow used its windfall to help fund its Where Now? course which supports people with a cancer diagnosis after their treatment has finished. The course provides attendees with skills and techniques to support them through the transition period and beyond.

Perhaps you volunteer or work for a local charity, or have had support from one? Tell us why they should win a share of this cash.

The closing date for nominations is September 4, 2022.

Once all nominations have been received, our editor will select the most deserving causes to be featured in this year’s grants scheme. 

We will then put the power to allocate the cash back into your hands – for four weeks, readers will be invited to collect tokens from our newspapers which can then be sent to collection points across our region or posted. 

Each token collected will be counted and used to allocate cash to the nominated charity – so if your favourite charity collects 50 percent of all tokens collected, it will receive 50 percent of the cash pot.

The £16,000 cash is being provided by our parent company’s charitable arm, The Gannett Foundation.  This year the Gannett Foundation will donate £128,000 to charities across the country.
