Community First funded projects
| August 1, 2012 | Filled under Community, Funding, South East Holderness |
COMMUNITY FIRST is a pot of funding aimed at improving and strengthening communities in the South East Holderness Ward area. Community First Holderness received £33,910 to spend on community projects until March 2015.
It is a matched fund programme, which means that for every £1 provided in funding, a similar amount of in-kind donations (this means donations of cash, services, free products or volunteer time) must also be provided.
The Holderness Vikings Junior Rugby Club from Keyingham were the first group to receive funding through the programme in May/June 2012 to help sustain the Club by training volunteers and purchasing new equipment.
Since then, the following Withernsea-based groups have been successful in obtaining funding:
