NEWSLETTER MARCH 2011
Total Awarded Amount Approaches 1.5 million
The past 12 months have seen almost 450,000 awarded to 19 highly
deserving projects across Leeds. This takes the total amount awarded by the
Caird Bardon Community Programme to just short of 1.5 million quite an
achievement in 4 years!
As another year passes by, the Programme has seen a new woodland planted,
a new community centre built and others updated. Churches have been
repaired, childrens play areas have been installed and local parks improved.
Steve Ward, Site Manager from Caird Bardon said:

We are thrilled to be supporting Leeds by providing much

needed funding for so many varied and exciting projects.

Your project could be only an application form away from being awarded the
money to make your communitys dream a reality, so what are you waiting for?
