Community scheme celebrates triumphant start

David Wilson Homes North West is giving community groups in Rochdale the chance to take advantage of free funding and resources, following the successful launch of its exciting Our Space, Your Place initiative.

The scheme, which launched at the end of 2010, offers a dedicated fund from which community groups in the area can apply for a contribution to support a project they are currently involved in.

Graham Swann, managing director at David Wilson Homes North West, explains: “In today’s society it is more important than ever that we work together to help improve the communities in which we live, which is why we created Our Space, Your Place. The scheme not only offers to support local groups via funding, but organisations can also apply for resource for their project in the form of volunteers from our team.

“We have already received a fantastic response from people in the region and are delighted to have already been able to help lots of groups in the North West, such as the West Warrington Partnership and The Children’s Adventure Farm Trust. We encourage any organisations that are looking for support to get in touch now and find out how we can help them.”

Our Space, Your Place offers contributions from £100 to £1000, the only condition is that the funding is used for something that will genuinely enhance or improve a service, facilities or the environment within their local area.
