Local Fund
In 2007 the Community Boards requested that a review be
undertaken regarding the low number of applications to the
Community Wellbeing Local Community Board Fund. It was
requested that the allocated funding would remain with the
boards to allocate to specific ward based projects. It was
also recommended that a separate criteria be set for the
Community Wellbeing Fund - Local Community Board Fund on the
same principles as the Community Assistance Funds. It was
confirmed that funds through the Boards should be available
throughout the year, to include applications from
individuals and that every applicant may present their
applications to the appropriate Community Board for
decision.
The local community wellbeing provides small sums of
money (up to $1500) to assist not for profit
organisations/community groups to carry out their activities
in ways that best meet community needs.
Funding is allocated to each community board on a ward
population basis, as follows (2006 Census Statistics):
