£200K fund for Glasgow community groups open for applications
The money will be shared out through a public vote later this year, where residents of Glasgow’s Ward 6 will decide which projects they want to fund.
Ward 6 is one of four areas receiving £200,000 of funding for local community budgeting work, funded by Glasgow City Council. The funding is being distributed through Ward 6 Community Choices.
