Key priority: Support Communities Working Together to Address Local Needs
We would like to support activities where residents and community groups are at the heart of helping to build healthier happier communities.
We want to support community groups across the city to be able to work together to address the issues that matter to them.
Funding could be made available to support ideas such as; local litter picks, garden and green space clear ups or a family fun day.
Projects that have been supported that focus on Supporting Communities Working together to Address Local needs
Wilton Way Litter Pickers: This group received funding to enhance plants and shrubs in the Wilton Way public space, where there were gaps in borders around the main green. This and similar activities are advertised on the local community noticeboard to encourage participation.
Heavitree Food Larder, United Reform Church – this project provided excess food donated by supermarkets for those who couldn’t afford it, local residents had been struggling with bills given the cost-of-living crisis and this project went some way to address use.
