FUNDING: building better communities

Jewson’s ‘Building Better Communities Competition’ provides winners with up to £50,000 in prizes for transforming spaces and places in need of a little love and attention across the UK. The awards are meant to be used to support building projects of all shapes and sizes, no matter how innovative or ambitious. The competition is open to any local group in the UK that has a ‘big idea’ that will benefit its community. The awards are to be used to help pay for the cost of building materials and labour and can be spent on anything from a new roof for the local village hall, a sensory garden, a community festival or a coat of paint for a neglected public facility. The deadline for entries is 12th April. Find out more here
