MORE than £4,000 has been awarded in grants to community groups in Bradford South through the community chest grants programme.

A meeting of the grants panel agreed funding for organisations including a new group on Scholemoor Estate, who are bringing a piece of derelict land back into use by installing planters and raised beds.

Other groups that have benefitted include a new scout group in a disadvantaged area who wanted help with buying equipment.
