£50k available for outdoor projects in Sovereign communities

Sovereign residents living in Plymouth are invited to submit project ideas for creating great outdoor spaces for their whole community.

Proposals can be submitted through Sovereign’s Your Community, Your Choice (YCYC) grants programme, with up to £10k available per project.

YCYC lets people submit project ideas for their community to vote on to receive funding - last year, ten of them won a share of £80k.

Kate Sheppard, Sovereign Community Development Officer, said: “Your Community Your Choice gives Sovereign residents the opportunity to have a direct influence on where this funding is spent in their community.

“All project proposals for this round of funding must come from a Sovereign resident but Sovereign’s Communities team will offer full support with scoping out their idea and can engage local charities and groups to work with them if they feel they have an idea that will benefit the whole community.

“Projects must be uploaded to YCYC by 2 August 2021. The community will then be invited to vote for their favourites between 16 August and 17 September.”
