The village of Eye, Peterborough, is set to receive a boost after we announced we will use our Community Fund to run a competition giving away £2,500 to each of two community groups or charities.
The competition will be run in conjunction with the Cambridgeshire Community Foundation which manages the Community Fund. It is open to any charity or non-profit organisation to enter.
The proposed projects must include a high level of community involvement and must be able to be delivered in the first six months of 2017.
Karl Hick, Larkfleet CEO, said: “The money in the Community Fund is designed to support and nurture the local community of Eye village.
“We felt that a competition would be a fantastic way of choosing how to award the next round of funds, while encouraging community engagement among charities and non-profit organisations.”
The deadline to apply for the competition is 15 November 2016. A panel of judges will then choose two deserving winners which will each receive £2,500 in prize-money. The results will be announced in December.
