HELPING TO SHAPE YOUR
COMMUNITY'S FUTURE!
“Future Communities” is a discretionary
grant Scheme designed to enable and encourage voluntary organisations in
Ceredigion to participate in sustainable regeneration activities with a
capital focus and are community based with a socio economic emphasis. The
scheme is administered by Ceredigion County Council, on behalf of the
Ceredigion Partnership Management Board in its capacity as Lead Body.
By September 2005 the scheme will have
supported many schemes that have a substantial capital element, which are of
an economic or socio economic nature and do one or more of the following:
· Help provide facilities within the community that allow a range of community
actions including facilities for arts, cultural and recreational activities,
child and dependent care and provide links to the labour market such as
accessible training, employment resource and advice centres.
· Increase the accessibility of transport for marginalised groups through the
promotion of community based transport schemes to remote neighbourhoods.
· Assist with the provision and promotion of community participation in
schemes that tackle the barriers to employment, which arise from health
inequalities, the provision of community safety, and preventative actions
that tackle barriers to re-engagement arising from crime and the fear of
crime.
· Improve access to Information and Communications Technology together with
innovative ways of introducing people to new technologies.
· Improve community and mainstream services, which contribute to the greater
involvement in community life of excluded sections of the population
· Support physical and environmental improvements in the community that have
an economic or socio economic focus.
· Support projects which promote community energy or waste schemes and which
are not in accord with other environmental grant guidelines.
· Encourage the use of ICT for the development of, and support to, community-led
initiatives, particularly where the initiative will lead to a reduction in
the negative effects of isolation and peripherality.
Maximum amount of grant payable will be
£20,000 capital and / or £20,000 revenue.
