Key priority: Improve Where We Live
We would like to support projects and ideas that help you improve your local area.
We would like to encourage new ideas for how to improve your community for all.
Ideas for projects that could be supported
Environmental projects are a way to encourage a lot of local people to get involved and work on ideas to improve your local community.
Play streets would be a great project to encourage local children and families to have fun and get to know each other better.
Projects that have been supported to help People Improve where you live
Bury Meadow Resident Association – This group was awarded funding for a park gardening project. The park is maintained by the council, but the beds are mostly looked after the volunteers.
St David’s Hill Neighbours Noticeboard – This project involved installing a community "village" noticeboard by the bench in the green space beside the Iron Bridge. The noticeboard was co-managed by local residents and Exeter Community Centre.
FLOW Orchard Wassail – This group focuses on planting own fruit and nut trees that are growing into valuable resources for people and for wildlife. As well as their aesthetic appearance, they also have a role in carbon capture and improving air quality.
