Public voting on the Community Choices Place-based Capital funding projects is now open, with voting closing on Friday 16^th July. (VOTING LINKS BELOW.)

Community Choices is Falkirk Council’s participatory budgeting initiative (in partnership with Falkirk’s Health and Social Care Partnership), with over £3 million of funding available over two years for local people, groups and organisations to bring about the changes that can make a difference to their community. Community Choices aims to support proposals that can make local areas Fairer, Healthier, more Connected and more Inclusive.

Clubs, organisations, community groups and individuals from across the Falkirk Council area have submitted proposals for funding to make these changes happen. Members of the public can then vote for the projects they think will make the most difference.

Grants of over £5,000 are available for this round of Place-based projects, with multiple different projects across different Falkirk areas.

There are two Community Choices funds: the Small Grants Programme (now closed), and the current Place-based Capital funding programme for larger projects (grants over £5,000).
