South West Grant a Grand
Over autumn 2015 and early 2016 young people in South West Edinburgh were given the opportunity to suggest projects and then vote on the ones they wanted to see go ahead.
There were 10 prizes each of £1000 to be granted, and we received over 600 votes to determine which 10 ideas got the money.
We are now closed for applications this year having received a total of sixteen valid applications that went forward for the vote in February.
Young people in South West Edinburgh were able to vote at Fountainbridge, Balgreen, Sighthill (Gate55) or Wester Hailes Libraries when checking out a book, at community centres when attending a youth club, online and at the beginning of the results event in February.
Voting started on Monday 1st February and ran in libraries until Wednesday 24th, with the results announced at a community event on Friday 26th February at Carrickvale Community Centre. The event included stalls from local community groups, live music, sports tasters and refreshments.
You can keep up to date with future Grant a Grand developments by following the @Southwest_team Twitter and watching out for #GrantaGrand.
