Adur's Pot of Gold 2012
If you could decide how to spend £70,000 to improve your neighbourhood, town or village or something that would help local people what ideas would you come up with?
Again this year there are two pots of money - £50,000 for large projects and £20,000 for smaller ones. Full details of which pot to apply for is on the application form below.
The money is ready and waiting to be spent on the best ideas put forward by Adur community groups, charities, voluntary organisations or residents associations. Adur residents can also put forward ideas to improve the district. The council wants to turn the great ideas of local people into reality.
This initiative will involve local people and benefit Adur's communities. People know their own areas and what is needed.
Successful projects applying to the large pot could receive up to a maximum of £15,000 and to the small pot £10,000.
