SARAH Jack has a pot of money to be distributed to companies and organisations in Teesdale.
She is project manager for the Teesdale Market Towns Partnership, which aims to improve life in the district.
Companies can apply for up to £500 to promote their business, launch marketing ideas, or to help people wishing to start or strengthen new businesses. The £500 grants are also available for community events or groups in Barnard Castle and surrounding villages.
Ms Jack said: "Those who receive the grants have to put in a matching amount."
