Holywood WoFund

Community projects take to the stage at the amazing Secret Garden in Dundonald, to make their Dragon’s Den style pitch.

We were delighted to conclude our WoFund Good Relations Project this month, with voting deciding which of the many worthy community projects with Good Relations impact across Holywood would benefit from available grants, up to £1000, made available through Housing for All funding.

All the community projects came together in October, at the amazing Secret Garden in Dundonald, to make their Dragon’s Den style pitch, taking to the stage to sell their idea. The groups then voted, using a participatory budgeting model, to decide which groups would qualify for funding.

Of the 11 groups who had applied, 8 were successful through the voting process in securing funds of up to £1000 for their outstanding project. The successful groups are: Holywood Parish Friday Night Youth Club; Groomsport FC U16s; Holywood Mini Rugby Club; Dunville Heritage Garden; Holywood Mens Shed; Holywood Community Network; Holywood District and Community Council; Giggle Box/Holywood Parish.

Congratulations to the winning groups and many thanks to all who participated. We look forward to profiling some of the exciting projects over the coming months.
