A COMMUNITY foundation is offering three worthy charities in Berkshire the chance to win a £1,000 prize.

The Berkshire Community Foundation (BCF) has launched Vital Signs 2017, the fourth survey of it's kind offering a total of £3,000 to charities in the county.

Anyone who lives, works or studies in Berkshire can take part and fill in a survey on which charities in the county, need help. Three responders will win a £1,000 grant for a cause of their choice.

The focus of this year's Vital Signs is mental health and well being.

Gerry Lejeune OBE, Chief Executive at BCF said: "Local people often have the best understanding of the problems where they live.

"Vital Signs continues to inform the development of effective charitable giving in Berkshire.

"We need to know what people think and where they want charitable efforts by donors and civil society groups to be focused for more impact."
