Dunlop & Lugton PB Application Form

Application Form

Submit applications by 25 May 2025

Participatory Budgeting (PB) started in Brazil in the 1980s and has grown throughout the world. PB lets communities decide how to spend pockets of funding or public budgets.

Unlike traditional funding applications, the initial form is very brief. These forms will then be scrutinised by a group of local people and then shortlisted to attend a public event on 22 June 2025. At this event, each applicant will have a stall to present their idea to the audience, which will consist of local people who wish to attend.

Local people will vote on who should receive funding and the applicants will be informed of the decision on the day. Anyone aged 8 or above and attending school, living, working or member of a community group in the area is eligible to vote.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Who can apply?

Project proposals are invited from individuals, community or voluntary groups operating in the Dunlop & Lugton Community Council area as long as the project adds value and does not replace existing services.

This process is not open to schools but Parent Councils/PTAs and Pupil Councils may apply as long as the project does not cover core curricular activities.

Groups and individuals may submit up to 2 applications

Full application criteria are detailed in the Guidance Notes.

The maximum a project can apply for is £750 with no lower limit for bids

Next Step

Applications will be reviewed by the local PB steering group. Successful groups will be invited to the event on 22 June 2025 where you will have a stall to present your project to the community, who will then decide which projects are supported.

Applicants will be told of the outcome on the evening of the event.

Unsuccessful applicants who do not receive any funding in this process will be offered support/advice by Vibrant Communities.

For further information on the process and application criteria please refer to the guidance notes attached.

Please return completed forms by Sunday 25 May 2025
