A share of a £450,000 community fund is now available for local residents, groups and charities across Gedling borough to bid towards and make a difference to lives within their communities. 

The Jigsaw Foundation fund was set up in 2019 by housing provider Jigsaw Homes Group, which manages 35,000 homes across the North West and East Midlands. 

Applications from resident groups, local or charity projects, voluntary organisations, social enterprises and partner agencies are welcome now via the Jigsaw Foundation website

Since 2019 the fund has supported a plethora of projects including foodbanks, local theatres, befriending services, community gardens, youth clubs, school workshops, sports activities, food banks, community centres and social enterprise start-ups.

Sarah Keenan, Jigsaw Foundation Rewards manager said: “The Jigsaw Foundation has often been a lifeline to residents in our communities who need an extra helping hand when it comes to support. We want to continue to invest in people’s lives by aiding the projects that they put forward and make a positive impact in their communities and surrounding neighbourhoods. 

We still have several thousands to award successful applicants so I would urge anyone who might be interested and eligible to apply.”
