Greasbrough Ward councillors would like to encourage local people to join the next Network Event on Wednesday 10th May at St Mary’s Church in Greasbrough from 5pm to 8pm.
The event will be an opportunity to learn more about work taking place in our local area (including traffic projects). You can help to shape future work in the ward.
The key part of the event will be a Dragons Den style pitch for ward funding. Community groups are encouraged to enter the den and present to the dragons.
Groups can bid for up to £500 for capital expenditure and/or up to £250 for revenue expenditure.
Capital expenditure covers fixed assets such as IT equipment and furniture. Revenue expenditure covers running costs for things like activities.
Any proposal must support at least one of the following Greasbrough Ward priorities:
- Helping people with the cost of living
- Supporting activities for young people and/or older members of the community
- Supporting initiatives which make use of our assets, in particular the green spaces, the library and community/neighbourhood centres
In terms of pitching your proposal, you will have a maximum of 5 minutes. Please let us know if you need any equipment such as a projector.
If you would like to pitch your proposal at the event, please complete and return an application form. You can obtain a form by emailing Neighbourhoods@rotherham.gov.uk.
The closing date for returning application forms is Monday 8th May 2023.
Working with you to help build communities that we can all take pride in is a priority for the Council. Find out about news and events in your area by signing up to receive 'News from your Neighbourhood' e-newsletters, by clicking here.
