Charities and community groups in and around Salford are in with a chance to win £1,000 to spend on anything they like, thanks to a new initiative from Selco Builders Warehouse, which is opening its 69th UK branch on Regent Street on Monday.

To celebrate the opening, groups just have to submit an application for the Selco Stars scheme, explaining in 100 words or less how the money would benefit their organisation.

It's a really simple online form, but applications have to be in by midnight this coming Monday 19th October.*

"We're very excited to be opening in a new location, and there's no better way to celebrate than by offering a great opportunity to local charities and community groups" says Kevin O'Rourke, branch manager at Selco Salford.
 
"So many organisations do such fantastic work in our community and we are fully aware it's a very difficult period for all charities and groups who have an extremely testing year" he adds "We are very proud to be able to give them the chance to win a sum of money which will make a real difference."

Together with the £1,000, Selco will also make a £2,000 donation to its new charity partner Global's Make Some Noise, which supports disadvantaged youngsters right across the UK.

SALFORD STAR CLOSES AFTER 15 YEARS WITH ATTITUDE AND LOVE XXX

Star date: 17th May 2021

SALFORD STAR – 15 YEARS OF ATTITUDE AND LOVE XXX

The Salford Star closes tonight after 15 years of giving the community a voice, holding power to account and bigging up all the great things that have happened in the city.

Thousands of people in Salford have been involved in one way or another with the Star and we'd like to thank them all. Salford is a very special city and, hopefully, we've given it a very special community publication.

SALFORD STAR CLOSURE – GUY GRIFFITHS ON THE HUMAN COST OF PATHFINDER DEMOLITIONS

Star date: 16th May 2021

THE HUMAN COST OF REGENERATION

The Griffiths brothers of Higher Broughton are kind of infamous as the only people to be forcefully evicted from their house as part of the Pathfinder 'housing market renewal' project during the first decade of the 21st Century.

Here, Guy Griffiths, now living in 'sunny' north Wales and one of the main inspirations for the Salford Star's creation, writes the second part his own personal view of the Government project that devastated communities throughout Central Salford.
