Members Community Funding put to good use by Joanne

As regularly reported in Spotlight, the Community Grant Budget allowed each city councillor to allocate £1,000 (reduced to £500 for 2018-19) within their ward to support community projects. Joanne received applications from several local groups including the following examples which each received funding:

- James Hopkins Trust - local charity providing specialist care and support for life limited and life threatened young children.

- Gloucestershire Dear Association - part fund visit to a local Christmas Panto performed especially for deaf children and their families.

- Heart of Gloucester F.C. - new football goals for both boys and girls teams as they progress to older age group

The full list of funding awards for all wards across Gloucester is on the city council website at :
