Spennymoor AAP It's Up 2 U Event  - Saturday 2^nd March 2019

Local organisations across the Spennymoor AAP area are set to benefit from the It's Up 2 U Community Grant Fund again.

The fund, which is being made available through the Spennymoor Area Action Partnership (AAP), has proven again to be very popular with 27 local groups and organisations vying for a share of the £25,000 grant pot.

The decision on who gets the money will be made by members of the public who will get to vote on their chosen projects at the event being held on 2 March 2019 at Spennymoor Leisure Centre between 10am - 2pm.  As long as you live, work, volunteer or study in the Spennymoor AAP area and are 11 years old or over, you will have the opportunity to vote on projects that will benefit the local community.

At the event projects local to the area will be showcasing what they do and what they'd like the money for. After viewing the projects people will be asked to complete a ballot paper and vote for which projects they would like funding to be awarded to. 

This year the projects have been grouped depending on the amount of money they have applied for.  If a project has applied for a £1,250 grant or lower they are in Group A.  If a project has applied for higher than this then they will be in Group B.  Group A has a total of £10,000 to be allocated to projects and Group B has a total of £15,000 to be allocated to projects.

At the event members of the public will also have the opportunity to vote on the priorities which they think the Spennymoor AAP should focus on for the 2019/20 financial year.

The event promises to be a really exciting opportunity for members of our community to get involved in making local decisions. You can only do this by being there on the day so make sure that you come along and make your vote count!
