Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into your project proposals. We received 41 applications

The review process took about 4 weeks, during this time, we carefully looked at each application to make sure it met the rules in the application guidelines. After that, we met with our Customer Assurance Committee — a group of customers who help us decide which projects should be awarded funding. They reviewed all the applications and agreed on the projects that met the criteria. ✅

We’ve now contacted all applicants to share the outcome of their application.

With a total of £50,000 available for two rounds of funding, we were able to support or partially fund 18 projects in the first round. 🎉 There will be another round later this year, so be sure to keep an eye on our Citizen Together Hub, website, and social media for more details!
