Comeunity Builder Grants have been made available by the Comeunity Programme to: "empower local people to have a greater voice and influence over local decision making and a greater role in public service delivery"?
We recognise that when local resident’s come together to make a change in their neighbourhood they often need some resources to enable them to do this.
Comeunity Builder grants of up to £2,000 are available for small community and voluntary groups who want to make a difference in South and Central Yarmouth.
The grants are appraised by a panel of local residents and are processed within six weeks.
Comeunity Builder grants are intended to support greater community activity in South/Central Yarmouth. Whilst all small community groups are welcome to apply for a grant and will be appraised against the criteria outlined in the information pack, the programme will welcome bids in the financial year 08/09 covering the following;
- Activities and events which promote community cohesion in South and Central Yarmouth and set firm groundings for different groups to work and learn together.
- The development of new groups, particularly those working with sections of the community who are often marginalised from getting involved in wider community activities.
- Projects with an environmental element which support a cleaner and greener South and Central Yarmouth.
- The development of community events and activities in the early evening to encourage local residents to enjoy the night-time environment and utilise facilities traditionally focused around the tourist industry.
- The sponsoring of individuals or groups to develop skills and knowledge around neighbourhood management, community development and other forms of community regeneration.
