Your Voice, Your Choice

Participatory Budgeting (also known as PB) gives the community the opportunity to decide what services are delivered in Amington. PB has been run in Stonydelph, Glascote and Belgrave, offering up to £20,000 in each area. The money has funded some great projects which have really benefited the communities. Now it is Amington’s turn.

How does PB work?

It's quite simple. Organisations who have some great ideas apply for the fund, their ideas are put to the public vote, and the community votes by attending one of two voting events where they are handed a wad of  £20,000 Tamworth notes which is used for voting. The organisations with the most votes will get their hands on the funding which they require.


How to apply?
