Selly Oak Working Neighbourhood Fund Group

Tuesday 23rd June

I attended an interesting meeting about the working neighbourhood fund for the Selly Oak Constituency. This covered the bidding process for local groups to provide services to help reduce unemployment or, as the Government now call it, worklessness. Selly Oak Constituency (covering Brandwood, Billesley, Selly Oak and Bournville Wards) has £113,000 to allocate. The deadline we are looking at is 31st July 2009 . Funding will be available upto April 2011.
