DESERVING charities are being given the chance to grab £1,000 thanks to Vodafone and The Hinckley Times.
The giveaway is part of the technology firm’s Community Connection Awards scheme.

Brian Clarke, Vodafone store manager in Hinckley, said: “We’re delighted to team up with The Hinckley Times to offer a Vodafone Community Connection Award in Hinckley. We’re keen to play our part as members of the local com- munity and we know there are some really deserving causes out there, working hard to make a difference – we hope they will put themselves forward.”
