he new Chelmsley Wood Pride in Place Community Fund – Year 1 Get Talking is now live and will provide funding of £2,000 to £10,000 to deliver community activities and events.
Managed by Heart of England Community Foundation, in partnership with Colebridge Trust, applications are welcome from organisations that have a strong local connection to the neighbourhood and can demonstrate continuous delivery in this area for at least two years.
Solihull Council Cabinet Member for Communities, Cllr Qais, said: “The Chelmsley Wood Pride in Place Plan will be 100 per cent community-led with ideas, events and activities all originating from residents and community groups.
With help from the Neighbourhood Board, Chair and various working groups, residents will have the opportunity to get fully immersed in deciding which projects to support.”
To find out more about the new fund and ask the team questions, a Meet the Funder drop-in session is taking place on Thursday 9 July at the Three Trees Community Centre from 1 – 2.30pm.
