SEVERN TRENT’S new scheme has been awarded up to £2,500 for community projects and provide volunteer teams.
The NeighbourhoodGOOD scheme has been awarded the money to find community projects that could benefit from the cash as well as hands on help from its own team of volunteers.
The scheme was launched by Seven Trent to support local causes across Warwickshire.
Projects can include a new roof for a community centre to planning and transportation support for a local event or a restoration of a community garden.
Once a project has been submitted, a panel of experts will shortlist projects across the regions and then customers will choose which they think will have the biggest impact on their community.
Megan Aplin, societal strategy delivery manager at Severn Trent, said: “Our communities are at the heart of what we do, so we’re thrilled to launch the NeighbourGOOD Scheme.
“Our people are part of our communities, we’re a mix of people from all backgrounds and walks of life, who all live here and understand the needs of local groups.
“We want to make our region a better place, after all, our communities are close to all of our hearts and the NeighbourGOOD scheme is a great way of us extending our support to them; alongside our already established community fund and employability work, this gives our people the chance to get hands on and really help our communities with vital initiatives.”
The applications are open from September 6 to October 4.
