Six charities have been given a total of £10,000 in a grant programme run by the Guernsey Community Foundation.

The groups chosen to receive funding include the Maison St Pierre Trust, Grow Limited, Carers Coming Together and Philippi Guernsey LBG.

Applications for the second round of the grants programme will be accepted from Friday 1 June.

The foundation said another £10k would be available with one or more grants being awarded.

Applications will be accepted until Friday 29 June.
