Your Wirral funding still open for applications
Community groups across Wirral are being encouraged to bid for funding to improve the environment, prevent crime and encourage economic regeneration.
Your Wirral is a £250,000 grants programme jointly run by Wirral Council and Magenta Living.
If you are a community or voluntary organisation working in Wirral, you may be able to apply for a Your Wirral grant of up to £2,500, to address one or more of the seven themes below:
- Creating an attractive and safe environment
- Contributing to community economic regeneration
- Preventing crime or reducing the fear of crime
- Providing employment and training for local people
- Benefiting local people who face discrimination
- Improving community facilities
- Engaging communities to improve quality of life
Your Wirral funds are currently available Wirral wide, and for Wirral South-specific projects.
Cllr George Davies, Cabinet Member for Housing and Communities said: ‘There are a lot of different ways our community and voluntary partners can use Your Wirral funding, from environmental improvements to providing training opportunities. Developing strong, resilient communities will play a key role in enabling us to deliver on our pledges for 2020.’
The deadline for applications is 5pm on Friday 4th March 2016 and you can apply online at www.wirral.gov.uk/yourwirral. This is the final opportunity to bid for a Your Wirral grant, as Your Wirral funding will not be available after 2016.
