More about the PB fund
Council has opened a special PB fund of £20,000 for community projects. And who better to ask for creative new ways to build a better future than our local young people!
We want you to come up with fresh ideas to help transform local communities for the better.
8 Local Growth Areas across Derry and Strabane – Ballyarnett, Foyleside, The Moor, Waterside, Faughan, Sperrin, Strabane Town and The Derg – are covered by Local Community Plans.
£2,500 will be available in each Local Growth Area to deliver the ideas you come up with.
Individual projects can apply for awards of up to £1,000 or up to £500.
