Council says: More cash for community groups

kl | 06.10.2005 11:44

Over £70,000 has become available through the Neighbourhood Drug Community Chest Fund for community groups in Nottingham City to engage young people in activities.


The Nottingham Neighbourhood Drugs Team has been working closely with local groups to provide youth diversionary activities to those most at risk of substance misuse and drug related crime.

£80,000 has been given to over 60 new and valuable schemes in the last three years including the Radford Music Studio, Bilborough Boxing Club, and The Inner City Youth Movement. The fund has also helped to secure properties, alleyways and buildings that have been subject to drug misuse and dealing.

Nottingham Youth Basketball Club Development Officer Nick Robb said, 'The club has gone from strength to strength and the grant from the community chest has made a significant contribution, providing funding to replace the dilapidated basketball hoops in the gyms we use and providing kits for the players. The kids who come to the club come from some very tough backgrounds, but basketball provides a very meaningful and positive experience for them, and many have ambitions to become professional players or coaches in the future.

The Community Chest accepts funding bids from any community group or project, for initiatives that will contribute to reducing problems caused by drug misuse. Successful applications must demonstrate their commitment and the feasibility of sustaining the project on a long - term basis.

A new newsletter is being launched and will be sent out to all local community groups in Nottingham explaining how the fund could help them.

The Neighbourhood Drugs Team can give help and advice to people who would like to apply. The deadlines for applications are the end of October. Anyone can contact the Neighbourhood Drugs Team on 0115 9150306 or email  ndt@nottinghamcity.gov.uk for further information.
