How The Panel Assess and Recommend Projects for Funding:

When selecting proposals for funding, we will be considering the following questions:

1. Does the project address one or more of the local priorities the panel has set?
2. Is the timetable for delivery achievable?
3. Will the project result in an improvement in the quality of life or opportunities for local people?
4. What are the possibilities for the participation of local people and volunteers in delivering the project?
5. What benefits to the neighbourhood will result from the project?
6. Do the project costs represent good value for money?

What Happens After the Panel Meeting:

After the meeting, we will email you to let you know the outcome of your application.

If your project has been recommended for funding, we will notify CDF; CDF is the national organisation that is delivering the Community First programme on behalf of the government. They will contact you directly to arrange funding.

If you are successful, stay in touch and send us photos/stories to show how you are getting on!
