Giving you the chance to play your part

The launch of a unique scheme is set to provide Burngreave residents with funding so they can play a part in enhancing the area we live in.

The £1.1m BNDfC Grant Fund, being delivered by BCAT, is a chance for local people to apply for funding from £500 to £25,000 so they can make a positive impact on our community.

So now’s the time to get creative and start thinking of ideas that you think your community will benefit from. This could be setting up community groups, organising local events or getting mother and toddler groups going.

The Grant Fund could contribute to organising a range of summer activities such as last years successful trip to Skegness. Organised by BNDfC, the trip took local people for a day-out at the seaside. Plans by BNDfC for a similar trip in July this year are well under way. Look out for more details in the Information Shop over the next few weeks.

For more information on the Grants Fund please call the Small Grant’s Co-ordinator on 273 8578 or email smallgrants@bcatsheffield.org.uk.

Alternatively, you can drop into BCAT, 12 Burngreave Road or the BNDfC Information Shop on Spital Hill.
