Are a local Acton resident, group, social enterprise or business owner? Then Acton Gardens W3 are hosting an information and networking session. It will feature the Acton Funding Opportunity which will help you source funding for a community project or charitable initiative.
Acton Gardens commits to supporting the vibrant and thriving local community. They have set aside a Community Chest funding pot to support community activities throughout the lifetime of the regeneration. Each year, £50,000 is made available for local groups to apply for, with up to £5,000 available per project. To date, they have funded over 150 projects. These include gardening, sports, education, music, health and wellbeing, community days, support groups and arts projects.
Here at ActForEaling we would love to see groups involved in Climate Action, nature restoration or biodiversity to apply for this Acton Funding Opportunity. Projects such as community gardens, waste reduction projects menders, recycling projects, upcyclers, food redistributors, litter pickers, collaborating for a climate positive future. When it comes to Climate Action and nature restoration, there is something for everyone. For example projects which help to recycling better, learning to save energy (and money), changing the way we get about, reducing our food waste, or even bee keeping! We would love to see more groups appearing around Ealing with this focus.
Acton Gardens Community Chest sub group review applications. This is a group of residents who review applications and score projects, using a points system based on value for money, need for the project and the benefit offered for residents.
