Community First Panel - Volunteers needed

Leyton ward has been offered £33, 910 through a Central Goverment initiative known as the Community First grant programme. The programme offers funds to deprived wards. The programme dictates that the fund is spent on projects that benefit the ward and are needed in the ward. The first step in the process is to set up a Community First Panel, which will consist of four to eight people, who are residents of Leyton ward. Please see the Community First Guidance notes for more details.

Please contact your Ward councillors if you are interested in being a panel member or would like to nominate someone else as a panel member. Panel members must be a residents of Leyton ward.
