Watchet Coastal Community Team is delighted to have won a bid from the Big Lottery Fund and Department of Digital, Culture Media and Sport (DCMS) to become one of 20 partnerships countrywide to take part in the first stage of the ‘Place Based Social Action’ programme.
Watchet CCT will now receive support to develop social action plans designed to address issues important to the local community.
The Placed Based Social Action programme is funded using £4.5 million of Government and National Lottery money.
It aims to support communities to put social action at the heart of plans which make a positive difference in the local area.
The theory is that this will give people the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the design and delivery of local services by bringing together communities, local authorities, public sector organisations, service providers, civil society organisations and businesses to address local priorities.
