Communities Leading Change

Communities Leading Change is a creative way for individuals, groups and organisations to choose which projects in their locality they want funded. Anyone who lives in the District can bid for funding however it has to be used to benefit the area in which the PB event is aimed. There are two events happening in Newry Mourne and Down.

Event two is a district wide event aimed at Youth groups (aged 0- 24). There will be two chances to vote for these projects:

• Online Via Facebook 22 October – 19 November 2018
• Voting Event 24 November at 10am, venue tbc

Bidders will fill in a simple application form by 15 October 2018, once checked for safety, legality, and deliverability; your project team will be required to send in a photo/video/ other, to be uploaded online. Bidders will be encouraged to ask their friends and family to vote for their project, they will also be able to share the page/link for wider voting.

You / your project team will also be required to present your project at the voting event on 24 November. Those attending the event (the local community) will then vote for who they want the funding to be allocated to. You/a representative of your group must be free to attend the voting event at the specified time/day otherwise your application will be void.

If a group needs any assistance in the production of an online bid, please specify this under question 2E on the application form.
