The deadline is running out to support a disability charity in a major funding bid.

Norwich Independent Living Group could be in the running to receive £25,000 from the Aviva Community Fund but needs as many public votes by November 18 to become a finalist.

If it gets the money the cash will help develop the group.

The group meets at the Norwich Central Baptist Church, on the corner of St Mary's Plain and Duke Street.

It allows people to go on social outings and share information about issues including personal budgets.

The charity has Martin Symons, chairman of Norwich Independent Living Group, said: 'Having a group like the Norwich Independent Living Group is essential to our members as it's possibly the only time they get to meet others in similar situations.'
