What is a Community First Panel?
Each eligible ward will need to have a Community First Panel, made up of 4-8 local people. The Panel will work with their community to produce a Community First Plan and recommend projects/activities to be funded in their ward.
Being a panel member is a voluntary activity and no individual can be paid for their work on the panel.
The Endowment Match Challenge aims to raise £100m in donations through individual and corporate philanthropy. Donations received will then be matched with £50m of government investment. Endowment funds raised will continue to grow over the life of the programme to ensure a sustainable source of funding for communities in years to come.
£30 Million is now available to fund community projects in some of the most deprived areas of the country. People will be encouraged to give time, expertise and resources towards the projects they identify in their areas. The government will match these pound for pound, helping to stimulate local action towards meeting community needs.
