Earlier this year we applied to the Lottery Community Spaces scheme for funding to help the project progress.

We are pleased to report that we have successfully passed stage one of the two-stage application process. There is still a lengthy process to go through but this is a encouraging start.

Being successful at stage 1 we will be allocated a Facilitator who will provide a more detailed stage 2 application form. Facilitators will be able to provide expert and specialist advice to every project; they will also be able to provide support to applicants to complete the stage 2 application form.

Once complete stage 2 applications are received they will be assessed and we should receive a decision within 12 weeks.
