Read what our members have to say about Community Wealth Builder
‘Having someone to call and brainstorm some ideas with and knowing they will be able to find some funding for us to apply for, is so valuable’
This is Me
‘Someone to explain the process in a clearer way and understand our needs. There were so many bank accounts out there we were not sure which was the best one. Community wealth builder helped us pick the right one and then helped us write our funding bids’
Ann’s Willing Tees able
Finding out about the different funding out there and meeting other community groups in the networking events brings us closer in the community’

Bobby at Community Wealth Builder has given us invaluable advice. He's been with us at every step while we set up our Youth Group. He's always at the end of the phone or email to answer any questions we have and has helped us fill in a number of official documents. We appreciate all his help.

We were delighted to be awarded the community wealth builder grant and the coronation celebration pack. The grant will allow us to purchase more plants, wildlife shelter and garden furniture for our community garden. We hope that not only villagers will enjoy the garden but that anyone passing through the village on foot or bike or by car can stop and enjoy it. We would encourage other community groups to get involved with the Community Wealth Builder programme.
