Take£500 - Stage one Application Form

Overview

Why your views matter

Tak£500! Your Community, Your Voice, Your Choice is a new and exciting opportunity for everyone who lives in the Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough to come up with a creative idea through a Participatory Budgeting (PB) process.

PB offers a real opportunity to empower local people and actively involve them in decision making and the distribution of support within their local areas. Communities can apply for up to £500 for a project that they think will benefit their area - and best of all, it is the local residents who decide which projects receive the funding.

Ideas must be based around the ‘Take 5 Ways of Wellbeing’. These are five simple steps to help maintain and improve your wellbeing on a daily basis. They are:

  1. Connect with people around you
  2. Be Active in some way each day
  3. Take Notice of the world around you and how you are feeling
  4. Keep Learning by trying something new
  5. Give by doing something nice for someone else

What happens next

If you meet the simple criteria you will then move onto round two where you will be asked to submit a short video to showcase your project bid. The video should be no longer than 2 mins long. We have produced a short tips and guidance to help you produce your video. 

This video will be hosted online and you will have the opportunity to get your community to rally behind you and vote for your project!
