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 have applied for grants this year, and they need YOUR VOTE to turn their ideas into reality.
The Your Pots Your Say Voting Day is your chance to have your say on who should get funded. Organisations will be pitching their project ideas in the ‘Your Pots – Your Say’ marketplace and the audience – that’s you! – will vote on who should get the money.
The event takes place on 16 November from 10:30am at The Storey. All the organisations asking for funding are working with us to make videos about their projects, which will be available on this page once they are complete.
We hope you enjoy learning more about the projects and the organisations that are pitching.
