Your Pots 2025
The Pots of Possibility ‘Your Pots’ fund is giving grants of between £5,000 and £10,000 to local projects that can help regenerate North Lancashire’s environment and build healthy thriving communities across our district.
Twelve organisations applied for grants in the 2025 round, and we worked with them to create videos about their proposals. Scroll down on this page to watch them.
Representatives of all the projects gathered together with members of the public at The Storey on 15 November for the 2025 Your Pots Your Say Voting Day.
In addition, online voting was offered for the first time from 8 November until 13 November, which meant that people who couldn’t attend the voting day in person could still support their favourite projects. A vote cast online was worth one third of a vote cast in person.
Once all the votes were counted, six of the twelve projects were recommended for grants. LDCVS will work with each organisation over November and December to gather final information and complete our checks, before issuing grant agreements.
