VOICE YOUR CHOICE FUNDING OPPORTUNITY
Voice your Choice is Manton’s local Participatory Budgeting programme where the local community decide where public funding is spent on the services they feel will benefit their local area. The first stage of Voice your Choice took place earlier this year where the local Manton community decided on the priorities for the area under five themes. These are listed below:
The top priorities chosen by you were:
Theme Priorities Total Available
Health
Services for Older People £10,000
Doctors Facilities £9,000
Education & Job Opportunities
Job Opportunities £14,000
Supporting Children’s Learning £8,000
Environment
Fly Tipping, Litter & Rubbish £11,000
Dogs, dog mess & other animal problems £9,000
Community Safety
Anti Social Behaviour £12,000
Drug Dealing £12,000
Children & Young People
Free Activities for Children & Young People £7,000
Things for kids to do after school £8,000
We are now asking service providers, local voluntary or community groups and organisations to develop a service idea proposal that will meet the priorities that the Manton community chose.
This funding is not to replace existing funding or to support current activity, it is to add value to existing provision or create something new that will benefit what is currently on offer and be sustainable once funding has ended. This funding is only available to offer services within the Manton area.
The deadline for Service Idea Proposals to be submitted is 5pm Friday 6th November 2009.
If you think you have a proposal idea please contact Jenny Ball at the MCA office Tel: 01909 535193 Email: jenny.ball@mantoncommunityalliance.org.uk or visit our website www.mantoncommunityalliance.org.uk where you can download the Service Idea Proposal Form, Guidance Notes and Criteria.
