Social Value
Community Chest Fund
The Social Value programme is to benefit the residents of the Ebury Bridge Estate. At present, the majority are not located in Ebury anymore, therefore, the aim is to identify projects to fund that would deliver activities for those who have remained, as well the residents who temporarily moved to the immediate areas and neighbouring blocks.
It is proposed to widen the catchment area and catchment group. So the funding can benefit similar issues/concerns that residents experience, both on-site and off-site.
We are asking the Community Partnership Group (CPG) to set out the criteria and approach, through which the applicants (i.e., community organisations) will be allocated the funds.
Community Chest Fund
The Community Chest Fund is part of the Westminster Council’s Ebury Bridge Social Value programme and is funded by Bouygues UK.
