Community Board funding
Each year the board decides how we can assist 'strengthen our community' through our Strengthening Communities Funding. There were changes in funding levels to boards before last years decision, however there was no change this year in overall funding.
Though we are still to pass the specific recommendations; this overview of what, where and who we are looking to fund by area, type and sector. It makes a great deal of difference to many groups that we are able to support them, even in quite small ways sometimes.
A lot of hard work goes into this by our board support team from both a Community Development and a Sports & Recreation perspective- we thank them for that work.
Remaining funds will be used over the year to support Board projects such as Celebrate Bishopdale and Culture Galore. The balance will become the Discretionary Response Fund which will be used during the year to support Youth Development and other local projects
