Supporting Place Plan Initiatives
Applications are welcomed from groups that can bring match funding to the table, whether through in-kind contributions, fundraising, or other sources. However, we will also look favourably on projects that strongly align with our objectives and the aspirations set out in the Place Plan — particularly those that help reduce isolation, support participation for all, and address the impacts of poverty on the island
