Funding Priorities
Each ward has its own Community First Panel which is made up of members of your community who have come together to produce a list of priorities to improve your area. If a project fits in with these priorities then the panel may recommend it for funding.
Priorities
1. Improve physical environment
2. Support family events
3. Improved well being of residents

You can apply for a grant from a minimum of £250 to a maximum of £2,500 per year. The programme will run until March 2015 and funds will be available during that time.
