Since 2023, we’ve given more than £250,000 of grant funding to over 50 projects that have helped regenerate North Lancashire’s environment and support local communities. You can see all the projects funded through Pots of Possibility so far here.
This autumn sees the final round of Pots of Possibility grant funding, and we have £50,000 to give away.
Local organisations have applied for a grant and they need YOUR VOTE to turn their ideas into reality.
There are two ways you can vote:
- Come along to the ‘Your Pots – Your Say’ community voting event at The Platform in Morecambe on 5 December. Meet the projects in person before casting your vote.
- Vote online between 9 November and 2 December. You will need to watch some short videos about the projects before you can vote.
Whichever option you choose, registration is essential. Remember, you can only register for one voting option – you can’t register for both the voting event and online voting.
Registration for both options opens on 9 November, so check back here then for the registration link.
