Get involved with the next funding round on the Cheshire West Crowd
Cheshire West and Chester Council is launching another funding round on the Cheshire West Crowd, providing plenty of opportunities for community projects to bring their ideas to life.
The Cheshire West Crowd, run by the Council in partnership with Spacehive, allows everyone to put forward community-led projects and attract funding to make the borough more vibrant, resilient and connected.
Since the Cheshire West Crowd first launched, 94 community projects have collectively raised nearly £1.6 million from almost 5,000 backers, including the Council.
Councillor Louise Gittins, Leader of the Council and Champion for the Cheshire West Crowd, said:
Tarporley Community Centre ran a crowdfunding campaign during the last round on the Cheshire West Crowd, attracting funds to make improvements to the inside and outside of the building.
Anita Langford, Business Secretary of Tarporley Community Centre, added:
Saughall Colts JFC has also successfully raised more than £32,000 to install a new drainage and heating system, benefitting players, parents, coaches, volunteers and the wider local community.
Norman Peers, Fundraising and Sponsorship Officer of Saughall Colts FC, commented:
An online workshop is planned for 3pm to 4pm on Thursday 29 June so you can find out more about the Cheshire West Crowd.
Regular information sessions will also be held by the Council’s Communities team, providing an opportunity for you to have an informal chat about any ideas you have and get advice to take your crowdfunding campaign forward.
The deadline to submit projects on the Cheshire West Crowd and pitch to Council funds during this latest round is Wednesday 27 September 2023, with projects needing to hit their crowdfunding targets sometime during December 2023.
