Community First Funding

Community First funding is a Central Government initiative. This initiative offers funds to some of the most deprived wards in the borough.

 

The funding offered within Waltham Forest is as follows:

Grove Green ward - £33,910;

Hoe Street ward - £33,910;

Lea Bridge ward - £50,865;

Leyton ward - £33,910; and

Wood Street £33,910.

 

The funding is to be spent over a three /four year period in each of these wards. The fund remains available to the wards as long as the requirements of the programme's funding process are complied with.

 

One of the programme's requirements is that the funds are spent on projects which are needed in the ward and that benefit the ward.

 

Grove Green ward's Community Panel will develop a dedicated website in due course. A link to this website will be provided once this website is up and running.
