St Lawrences Gaelic Football Club Manchester have been shortlisted for a Community Fund Award, where they could receive a grant up to £3000. This award would make a huge difference to the Gaelic Football Club based in South Manchester and the community.

St Lawrences PRO Martyn Hickey said: "Receiving the award would allow us to invest in our own changing rooms and toilets at Turn Moss. They would be available every training session, every match and at every youth blitz. We have a thriving underage set up and are very proud of our links with the local community especially with our affiliated schools. It's great to see children playing lots of sport and having good facilities will make playing Gaelic Football in Manchester more appealing. I plead every GAA enthusiast to vote for St Lawrence's, all it takes is seconds and there are so many ways to vote!"

Earlier this year, over 7,000 community groups across England, Wales, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man and Channel Islands were nominated for the award. 1,400 causes in 350 communities were then shortlisted for the Community Fund award and St Lawrences GAA Club Manchester were one of the 1,400 successful candidates.

Four local causes in every area will be awarded funding depending on the number of votes they receive. The group with the most votes will get £3,000, the next £2,000, £1,000 and finally, £500.

Voting can be done on the website via email, Twitter, SMS or in your local Lloyds Bank.
