What is '£eith decides'?
£eith decides is an approach used by Leith Neighbourhood Partnership to allocate its Community Grants Fund.
This type of approach is called Participatory Budgeting (PB) and allows you to decide about issues that matter to you. If you're part of a local group you can put forward your own ideas, and then local people vote on them. So it is more than asking people what they think - local people make the decisions.
Getting Involved
Everyone who is eligible can get involved by voting/scoring projects. £eith decides could not happen without local volunteers. Volunteers from Community Councils have been planning and delivering on £eith decides for six years and are now in their seventh year. Volunteers are also needed to staff the event, register voters, helping people understand the process and counting the votes.
You can also help by spreading the word. You could know about a small group who meets to provide support for each other, learn a new skill or for any other reason who could use some money, even a few hundred pounds.
Remember, Leith Neighbourhood Partnership covers a wide area, across two council wards (Leith and Leith Walk). See the map.
