15/07/2009 - O2 Community Project Grants |
O2 Community Awards
O2 Community awards were created to inspire us all to make positive changes to our lives. Every month O2 awards give small grants of up to £1000 to projects that encourage people to come together and make a real difference to places they live. If you have an idea for a project that will bring together and benefit your community and your project is small enough that £1,000 will make a difference then please visit www.itsyourcommunity.co.uk
Although O2 Community Awards will be moving the focus of these awards to helping young people connect with their communities they will still consider community based applications up until the end of September
If your project does not involve young people then do apply before end of September
Here are some examples which might help you decide if they can help you – although they are always open to new, ground breaking ideas.
