Your Pots 2024
The Pots of Possibility ‘Your Pots’ fund is giving grants of between £5000 and £10,000 to local projects that can help regenerate North Lancashire’s environment and build healthy thriving communities across our district.
Eleven organisations applied for grants this year, and they gathered together with members of the public at The Storey on 16 November for the 2024 Your Pots Your Say Voting Day.
Organisations pitched their project ideas in the ‘Your Pots – Your Say’ marketplace and the audience – that’s you! – voted on who should get the money.
Everyone asking for funding worked with us to make videos about their projects, which you can see on this page.
Once all the votes were counted, seven of the eleven projects were recommended for grants. LDCVS will work each organisation over November and December to gather final information and complete our checks, with a view to issuing grant agreements soon.
