Today was a rare opportunity for Community Spaces facilitators to meet up and find out more about each other and the projects they are helping through the programme.
Once through the first stage of application, community groups applying for funding are helped through the rest of the process by one of these friendly facilitators.
Rebecca Luff and Rachel Summerscales are two of the facilitators and they talked about the very first projects to come to fruition. For Rebecca it was last week’s opening of a new playground in Rogate and Rachel claimed the first ever succesful Community Spaces at Fern Gore near Accrington which helped restore several wildlife lodges (or ponds) despite the windy and rainy launch!
