Community groups in Leeds can apply for grants from a pot of money to support civic engagement.
The Neighbourhood Challenge is a new programme from Nesta, working with the Big Lottery Fund, to support community-led innovation.
It aims to show how community organisations – when equipped with the right skills, practical tools and small, catalytic amounts of money – can galvanise people to work together to create innovative responses to local priorities, particularly in neighbourhoods with low levels of social capital.
Nesta is the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts - an independent body with a mission to make the UK more innovative.
If your group or organisation successfully applies for the cash, let us know - we'd be happy to follow the progress of your scheme over a period of time.
