COMMUNITY groups in Nottingham have an extra few days to get their hands on thousands of pounds in Sport Relief cash.

The original deadline was 5pm yesterday but this has been extended until 5pm onThursday.

The charity has £62,500 to give away to clubs in the city.

The money is available to any groups based within the city boundary which are run by local people for local people and have an income of less than £50,000 a year. The groups do not have to be sport-based – they can include lunch clubs or toddler groups.

TV stars Dick and Dom, who are running the Sport Relief Mile at the Victoria Embankment, have urged people to take up the grants.
