What is Community First?
Community First is an £80m government-funded initiative that will run for four years, until March 2015. The programme will help communities come together to identify their strengths and local priorities in order to plan for their future and become more resilient. It will fund both new and existing community groups.

Community First consists of two elements:
• a £30m Neighbourhood Matched Fund for some of the most deprived areas in the country and
• a national £50m Endowment Match Challenge

For information on how the wards were selected to receive Community First funding, click here.
