Community Funding - It's Up 2 U

Community groups can obtain funding via a project being developed by the Derwent Valley AAP which will soon be launching the new 'It's Up 2 U' Scheme which enables local community groups and organisations to apply for funding and provides an opportunity for local residents to vote for their preferred projects at a specially arranged event.

The It's Up 2 U Scheme is being delivered by the Derwent Valley AAP in partnership with the Durham Rural Community Council (DRCC). Expression of Interest Forms will be available shortly from the AAP and a newsletter outlining the scheme will be circulated to all homes in the area so everyone is made aware of the scheme. All community groups interested in applying for funding are asked to contact a member of the team on 03000 260 725 for an information pack.

The Scheme will launch officially at the Derwent Valley AAP Forum Event on 29th June 2011 and the closing date for completed Expression of Interest Forms will be Friday 22nd July 2011.
