Jewson’s Building Better Communities Fund

Posted on April 22, 2016

To support UK communities, the building products supplier Jewson’s Building Better Communities Fund has £250,000 available for building projects which will benefit local communities. The fund includes a top prize of £150,000, for a renovation or new build project which uses the “My Comfort” multi-comfort building concept by Saint-Gobain.

The fund can be used for various projects, such as a new roof for the village hall, renovations of community spaces, or play areas for children.  Local projects can also apply for building materials worth between £500 and £10,000, from a regional prize fund.

Nominations are open until Friday 29th April.  Shortlisted projects will be announced on Monday 16th May, with public voting until Sunday 19th June.  Competition winners will be announced the week commencing Monday 4th July.

For further information, please visit the Building Better Communities Fund website.
