Do you have a great idea for a community initiative that will benefit local people but just needs the funds to get it off the ground, or maybe you have already got a successful community project that you’d like to expand or develop?
If the answer is yes, then Buckinghamshire’s 16 Community Boards want to hear from you.
Each community board has funds available to support projects that meet the agreed priorities for their area.
The boards are keen to hear from local people about projects and ideas they may have. Of particular focus this year will be initiatives to improve the environment and supporting economic recovery.
Community boards are keen to hear from community groups and partners, to work with them on their ideas and projects in these areas.
If you have an idea for funding or are just keen to get involved in an action group looking at how to tackle local issues, get in touch with your community board directly - www.buckinghamshire.gov.uk/community-boards
Steve Bowles, Buckinghamshire Council’s Cabinet Member for Communities said:
“Community boards are here to make a real difference to the people of Buckinghamshire at a truly local level. We are delighted at how well the community boards have established themselves in their local communities over the past year but there is still work to be done. We want to make sure everyone knows about their local community board and how they can get involved. share ideas and work with us to improve where they live.
He continued:
“Every community board has a range of ways of keeping in touch with their community including newsletters and social media. You can keep up to date with what’s going on and get involved in matters that you are interested in. We are especially keen to hear from local people on ideas they may have for ways to improve the area where they live. Not every idea will be doable but local residents and groups are the ones who can really tell us what issues need to be addressed and we want to work with them to make changes for the better.”
