Building Communities in Coldharbour have announced that round two of their Community Challenge Fund is now open. Themed Realising Resident’s Ideas, the fund is a pot of money for local projects and activities that are designed and led by local residents. Applications must be in by the 12 April 2013.
Nurture organizations will ‘hold the funding’ and support residents in making their ideas a reality. The Community Challenge Fund is intended to inwardly invest in a target area, as such – only proposals put forward by residents who live in and around Loughborough Junction and Coldharbour ward will be considered.
