Safer Stronger Communities Fund
Update on funding
Great news! Government has advised that The Safer Stronger
Communities Fund (SSCF) will receive the next two years funding for
the wards of Margate Central and Cliftonville West. This amounts to
nearly £700,000.
What is the Safer Stronger Communities Fund (SSCF)?
The overall aim of the fund is to improve the quality of life
for residents who live in these two wards, making it safer, cleaner
and greener and building a greater sense of community pride.
First launched in April 2006, the SSCF Programme has already
funded 72 different projects run by clubs, groups and individual
residents from these two wards. Projects from Public Sector
organisations have also been funded. For details on what project
were funded by SSCF click on the links at the bottom of this
page.
A different approach will be taken with the next two years
funding (from March 2008 to March 2010) as the SSCF Programme Board
will be commissioning organisations to employ people to meet the
needs of our community. The posts are expected to be operational in
Spring 2008 to ensure that the community get maximum benefit for
the two-year period.
The SSCF Programme will not be funding any further
project applications at this stage. For further
information please contact the SSCF team.
The Department of Communities and Local Government has provided
this fund to support Thanet District Council and its partners in
their programme of neighbourhood renewal. The SSCF is separate from
any other funding available from Thanet District Council.
What area does SSCF cover?
The fund aims to transform Cliftonville West ward, Margate
Central ward and the green space of Dane Park into a Safer, Cleaner
and Greener neighbourhood. The overall objective is to improve the
quality of life for people who live in these areas.
