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. Promote the development, training and employment of young people
2. Increase local activities for children, by supporting after school clubs, holiday, play, sports and cultural activities, etc
3. Improve the local environment, by addressing environmental priority issues, e.g. graffiti, drains, alleys play areas
4. Address the issue of climate change, to include recycling and education
5. Increase support and services available for vulnerable groups including people with a disability and older people

You can apply for a grant from a minimum of £250 to a maximum of £1,000 per year. The programme will run until March 2015 and funds will be available during that time.
