Community First is a funding programme
from the Office of Civil Society.
£30 Million is now available nationwide to fund
community projects in some of the most disadvantaged areas of the country.
Community First Neighbourhood Matched
Fund is an initiative that provides local communities with the means to
address their own priorities. Communities will set up local panels
in each eligible ward, which will decide upon projects for funding in their
area.
It is a matched fund programme, which
means that every £1 provided in funding must be matched by a similar amount of
in-kind donations (this means donations of cash, services, free products or
volunteer time).
The
East Community Assembly Area has £339,100 in total with £56,240 to be allocated
by 31st March 2012. If your group is in the Arbourthorne, Darnall,
Manor Castle or Richmond ward and you are interested in applying for a grant of
between £250 and £2500, contact the East Community Assembly Team on 0114
2735708 or communityassemblyeast@sheffield.gov.uk
to find out more.
