These projects totaled £27588.00, and as you know we had £30,000 to spend. So we offered the remaining £2,412.00 to the next most voted for project, Kindness in Community and they accepted! So, there are a total of 11 new ideas coming to the area!
We were delighted to see such a great mix of ideas receiving support and some brand new projects getting a boost because of you, the voters. In an ideal world we'd loved to fund all of the ideas that come across our desk and we'll be working with the projects who weren't successful this time to find out how else we might be able to help them!
Thanks again for taking the time to vote, we hope you're happy with the results!
