How are projects selected for funding?
The coordinating group will meet after the closing date to discuss all the applications and decide the following:
Does the application meet one or more of the priorities?
Is it value money and are the costs reasonable?
Is there a need for this project?
Is the project delivered in an established partnership?
If your application is successful you will be invited to take part in a market place at a New Cross Assembly event on Tuesday 6 October, where residents can vote on which projects get the funding.
