We have so many great community and voluntary groups in Rushcliffe and I wanted to let you all know about a new Government fund, The Community Ownership Fund, that has just opened for applications, in case it might be useful to you or anyone you know.
The Community Ownership Fund, which is worth £150 million has been set up to help communities across the UK to support and continue benefiting from the local facilities, community assets and amenities most important to them. Specifically, this fund helps groups take ownership of assets which are at risk of being lost to the community. Voluntary and community organisations can bid for match funding. Funding may support the purchase and/or renovation costs of community assets.
Further information about the Fund and what projects are eligible for it can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/.../community-ownership-fund...
If you would like any advice or support for a potential bid please do get in touch with me by emailing ruth.edwards.mp@parliament.uk
