Applications are now open for ºù«ÍÞapp Borough Council’s relaunched Neighbourhood Improvement Fund, which uses money collected from developers through the planning system.
Community organisations can now bid for funding by submitting applications through the ºù«ÍÞapp Borough Council website.
The funding scheme aims to support community groups and voluntary organisations to implement neighbourhood improvement projects.
Applications can be made for grants of up to £5,000. Evidence of match funding from other funders will no longer be required but schemes should have local community backing.
The projects funded will also benefit the residents of ºù«ÍÞapp by helping to improve the environment and help meet the demands that development places on the need for community services and facilities within the town.
We are very pleased to be able to continue the Neighbourhood Improvement Fund. This has been made possible thanks to Community Infrastructure Levy finances the council has collected from developers. We’re keen to fund a range of community projects that help improve the local environment in our neighbourhoods and I encourage local groups with good ideas and local support to apply.
