We have teamed up with North Lincolnshire Council to bring back this successful campaign, which aims to reward charity and not-for-profit groups with cash.

The council has invested £10,000 and the Telegraph has matched the amount with a further £10,000 to enable groups to benefit from a total of £20,000.

All they have to do to claim their share is fill in the registration form and send it off before all of the spaces are filled.

One of the first groups to have registered is Wrawby Under 5s Pre-School, which is hoping for more cash after taking part in last year's campaign.

Last year, the group won £89.94 in the campaign and has been one of the quickest this year to have sent in a registration form.

Julie Crombie, fundraising and promotions representative for the pre-school, said: "Our building is approximately 20 years old and is only supposed to have a life-span of 12 years.

"It desperately needs repairing and we are hoping to raise enough money so that when planning goes through, we can apply for match funding.

"The new building is going to cost around £100,000 and we are nearly half-way to that total.

"This campaign will help give a boost to our fundraising. A bigger and better building would provide more space for the children and also mean that we could look after 24 rather than 15.

"Cash For Your Community is fabulous. It is fantastic that this money is there and we have the opportunity to get a share of it. It is unique, because everybody involved is a winner. We will definitely get people in the community buying the Telegraph to support our group."

A Registration form is printed below, with the final one appearing in next week's paper.

The deadline for submitting registration forms is Monday, November 12. If the 200 group limit is reached before this date, the registration window will close and readers will be notified.

People should send registration forms to: Cash For Your Community, Northcliffe Newspapers, Telegraph House, 80 Cleethorpe Road, Grimsby, DN31 3EH.

Readers will later decide how much is given to each group by collecting the voting coupons printed in the Scunthorpe Telegraph from Thursday, November 22. There will also be a list of the final 200 groups printed in that week's edition of the Telegraph.
