Consultation has concluded

It’s time to have your say! Thirteen Community Connector Jess has funding to award to 3 different projects, and needs your help to choose.

Primrose Hill, Newtown and Wrensfield play host to some amazing community groups. Thirteen want to help these groups to support local residents as much as possible, on things that matter to them. This is your opportunity to be heard and support amazing local projects and groups.

The money will be awarded to 3 groups as follows:

1st place- £2,500

2nd place- £1,500

3rd place- £1,000

Following a community consultation and working with your local councillor, our three priorities for the year are:

1. Continue to strengthen existing community assets
2. Improving life chances - linked to money in pockets and employment and skills
3. Improving the local environment with a focus on garden condition, open spaces and fly-tipping

Therefore, money will be given to groups who’s project will aim to achieve these goals.

Currently, we are working on projects for each of our priorities and there might be a project you would like to become more involved in. Speak to your community connector Jess to find out more.
