Neighbourhood Matching
Neighbourhood Matching is a volunteer-led project that funds community groups to work toward a shared goal. For each hour volunteers give to a project, £10 gets added to the project budget! This is an accessible way for community members to come together and make meaningful changes to their areas. Project ideas come from the community, funded by the community, and benefited by the community.
Our current projects include:
-
Wyke Beck Water Watchers: volunteers go out once a month to test water samples and promote a healthier Wyke Beck! For more information or to get involved, please contact Paul at mrpauldoney@gmail.com.
