ORGANISATIONS that create new chances for communities to "get creative" are being invited to apply for grants by Worcestershire County Council's arts service.

The invitation follows the announcement of the fourth round of First Base awards, which saw six organisations being awarded a total of £2,038 by the county arts team.

Among the beneficiaries is Wyre Forest Cuckoo's Nest Drama Group, which has been handed £300 to run mask and voice workshops for participants.

Application packs can be requested from assistant arts officer Anne Langford on 01905 766337 or email artsenquiries@worcestershire.gov.uk
