Funding Priorities
Each ward has its own Community First Panel which is made up of members of your community who have come together to produce a list of priorities to improve your area. If a project fits in with these priorities then the panel may recommend it for funding. New and existing community groups who live in Whalley Range can apply for funding for projects that will benefit the area.
Priorities
In line with the criteria set by the Community Development Foundation, the Panel used feedback from Residents to identify 5 priorities for Whalley Range as:
• Promoting Employability
• Health and Wellbeing
• Promoting Community Cohesion
• Capacity Building in 3rd Sector Organisations
• Promoting Community Involvement

You can apply for a grant from a minimum of £250 to a maximum of £2,500 per year. The programme will run until March 2015 and funds will be available during that time.
