ORGANISERS of Knighton Show & Carnival are encouraging local youth groups or a group which supports youngsters in and around Knighton to apply to them for funding before the deadline next week.

Knighton Show & Carnival invites yearly applications from local youth groups to benefit from the generosity of the town attending the event.

Knighton Brownies and 1st Knighton Guides/Rangers, Knighton Town Football Club Juniors and the Knighton Sports Association each received £200 earlier this year from the 2022 event.

The money went to provide more resources and enable the youngsters to have further enjoyment in their group activities.
