A HISTORIC charity is offering grants to help students with their education.

The Harehills Foundation Trust provides assistance to people living within the area of the former Oakworth Urban District Council.

It excludes the former Laycock ward and parts of the old Oldfield and Stanbury ward outside Oakworth parish.

"The trustees will consider all applications from residents within the area and a grant will be made to those most eligible," said a spokesman for the charity, which was set-up in 1744.

Applications should be sent to the clerk of the trust, at Oakworth Primary School, Station Road, Oakworth, Keighley BD22 7HX by April 26.
