If you have reached your 500 token target, it is time to submit your application.

Groups are able to continue collecting until the end of January, but those lucky enough to have already received enough tokens already can apply.

The 500 tokens, application form and golden ticket (if being used) need to be handed in at an Archant office by Friday, February 5.

The five dragons – our judges – will announce the winners on Friday, February 15.

One of the dragons facing the difficult task of choosing the beneficiaries, is Eastern Daily Press editor in chief, Nigel Pickover. He said: 'This is a very exciting time in our first Community Chest month – when groups can save their final tokens and be in with a chance of January's £15,000 pot. That's why we are publishing a bonus 10 tokens voucher.'
