GALAXY Hot Chocolate Fund Offers Support to Warm-hearted Local Causes

READING, England, November 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

GALAXY Hot Chocolate is looking to help small, local community groups and charities across the UK and Ireland by donating cash awards to support warm hearted people and projects.

The GALAXY Hot Chocolate Fund is now in its fourth year and has helped to support more than 100,000 people through its campaigns.

Open for entries until February 23 2015, the Fund will distribute five £300 awards to deserving recipients every week.

Michelle Frost, spokeswoman for GALAXY Hot Chocolate said yesterday: "We know that across the UK and Ireland smaller charities and groups struggle to make ends meet despite the efforts of a huge number of warm hearted volunteers.

"The GALAXY Hot Chocolate Fund aims to give them a helping hand and hopefully inspire more people to get involved with local community groups."

Aidan Warner, external relations manager at the National Council of Voluntary Organisations says: "It's getting harder for charities to find the funding they need these days. For the smallest charities and volunteer groups a few hundred pounds can go a very long way, so the GALAXY Hot Chocolate Fund is a very welcome helping hand."

Applications to the fund can be made on the GALAXY Hot Chocolate website http://www.galaxyhotchocolate.com .

GALAXY hot chocolate offers the smooth creamy taste of GALAXY chocolate in a heart-warming drink.
