Warwick Ahead Newsletter #12 - July 2015
Bringing £1m to Warwick Estate over at least 10 years to make a massive and lasting positive difference to the community. Run Riot Group at the Festival for Food, Drink and Rhubarb
Think Big Local! Warwick Estate is one of 150 areas of the Country that have been chosen to get Big Local funding. Warwick Ahead is the name of the local project which was set up 3 years ago. Big Local will give Warwick Estate around £1M over a 10 year period to make a difference in the area. The challenge of Warwick Ahead is to get residents working together on a shared vision for the community. A lot of work has been done to get a Community Board formed, a local Vision developed and our first 3 Year Plan in operation. There are a range of projects that have already been funded through Warwick Ahead these range from luncheon club for the elderly through to a community bus project, film projects for children through to the setting up of an estate wide credit union project. There are groups and projects to oversee initiatives with older people, families, neighbourhood watch, the environment or activities that will bring people together. ANY RESIDENT is welcome to get involved with Warwick Ahead.
If meetings aren’t your thing, then start following Warwick Ahead on Facebook where you can feedback your thoughts or opinions. Over the next few months we will be putting together the Year 4-6 Community Plan and need residents to help form the Plan. Being involved will help you meet new people, it opens up the chance of training, gaining skills and making a worthwhile difference where you live.
