A NEW cash incentive is being offered to charities, community groups and environmental organisations.

Veolia Water, based in Tamblin Way, Hatfield, is offering grants of up to �2,500 to support a range of projects that benefit the community.

The Veolia Water Community Investment Fund will allocate two rounds of grants throughout the year, with three levels of award available: Bronze – any amount up to �500; Silver – any amount to up �1,000; and Gold – up to to �2,500.

The offer is open to any organisation within Veolia’s supply area which supports projects such as child welfare, or the natural environment.

Richard Bienfait, Veolia Water Central managing director, said: “We want as many organisations as possible to have the chance to benefit from the fund, and we would like to encourage them to visit our website and apply for support.”
