Community Chest
What is the Community Chest?
Acton Gardens is committed to supporting the vibrant and thriving local community and has set aside a funding pot to support community activities throughout the lifetime of the regeneration.
Each year, £50,000 is made available for local groups to apply for, with up to £5,000 being offered per project. To date, we’ve funded over 150 projects, including gardening, sports, education, music, health and wellbeing, community days, support groups and arts projects.
Acton Gardens have set up a Community Chest sub group made up of residents to review applications and score projects, using a points system based on value for money, need for the project and the benefit offered for residents. Applications are considered by the sub group every quarter.
