Action For Bow Summer & Autumn Activities funding

We have had a very busy Summer and Autumn funding rounds, we recieved a total of 70 applications of which 35 were approved.

The projects range from Summer Holiday clubs, to a project based around the history of Bow, there are sports projects including table tennis and gymnasium based activities to a project of a more unusual nature that involves taking young Somali people on a visit to a farm in Wales in order to increase generational understanding. It’s true there is a farm in Wales that hosts young Somali people to introduce them to farming practices of their homeland.

The summer projects are short term summer activities lasting for a maximum of 6 weeks.
The Autumn projects are longer term to benefit local communities and last for up to a year.

We are hoping to have another Summer funding round in May 2010 for small summer grants which will be advertised closer to the time. These will be for a maximum of £3,000. There will also be an Autumn finding round in September 2010 for medium grants of a maximum of £10,000.
