There are now 90 community groups across England benefiting from a whopping three million pounds from the Community Spaces fund -that’s an average of just under £300,000 per region!
20 of these projects have launched, including a natural play project by the Rogate Appeal for a Playground (R.A.P) group in Hampshire; a nature trail & access improvement project by the Friends of Bennion Pools in Leicesterhire; and Skerton Community Association’s community garden project in Lancashire.

If your Community Spaces project has opened or is close to opening please tell us about it here. We’d love to hear what you’ve got planned…
