Help for community projects from One Nottingham

Four community projects from across the city will receive a helping hand when One Nottingham presents them with grant aid cheques on Friday 25 September.

 The cheque presentations will be made to the groups by the One Nottingham Board at 12.30pm following their meeting at the New Art Exchange in Hyson Green.  The groups that will be receiving the cheques have all recently been awarded funding from the One Nottingham Small Grants Scheme. 

•  Open Minds have been awarded £2580 for an innovative project to promote community cohesion
•  Friends of Trinity School Show Band received £4673 to host a youth band contest at Harvey Hadden Stadium
•  Signpost to Polish Success received £8825 to hold a Polish festival in the city celebrating Polish culture and that of other ethnic groups living in the city
•  Edwards Lane Music Club, which teaches and promotes the playing of music to young people, was awarded £2458 towards the purchase of sheet music, CDs and tuition fees.     

 The One Nottingham Small Grants Scheme is part of the Government’s strategy for regenerating the most deprived neighbourhoods.  The programme is managed for One Nottingham by the Nottinghamshire Community Foundation which is an independent Charity.                                                                                                                                  

Chair of One Nottingham, John Collins, said: ‘Our community and voluntary sector makes a major contribution to the social, economic, cultural and environmental well-being of Nottingham.  I’d like to thank all the groups for their work to support and improve life in our city.   The Grant Aid funding that we’ve awarded these groups demonstrates One Nottingham’s recognition of that work and the commitment shown by members of these organisations.’
