Have Your Say!
Local people know best what's needed in their community. For the third time Portobello & Craigmillar Neighbourhood Partnership are giving local people the power to decide how our £21,737 of Community Grants will be spent.
We are now inviting applications,
Application Form
Guidance Notes
Local groups with a good idea about an event or a project that will benefit their community should please bid now. Applications will close on 27 December 2017.
There are two options available. Groups can bid for up to £1,500, or, make a smaller bid of up to £500, for example, to buy a piece of equipment the group needs.
On Saturday 3 February, young and old across the area will vote for the work they want to see delivered. The groups who win the most votes will be awarded the money.
Groups who apply for the higher amount should note that a member of the group must attend the voting event on Saturday 3 February, for their bid to be included. The aim is to give local people a chance to speak to projects and find out more about what they are planning to do, before they vote.
This time, the voting will take place in the East Neighbourhood Centre, 101 Niddrie Mains Road, from 1pm -3 pm. Young people from Portobello who are aged 16 and under, will be able vote on the same day in Portobello Library.
We want to encourage people to turn up, see what's on offer and to find out what groups are hoping to do in the area.
Please turn up and help decide who benefits from this money.
