BRIZ Community Pot
We loved hearing all your brilliant ideas and applications! We are so happy to announce the projects that have been funded through the first BRIZ Community pot.
A pot of £2500 to support groups and individuals in the two Brislington wards to run community-led events, activities and initiatives.
This is the first time we have run a community pot. We want to learn from this process so we really welcome any feedback. Please use this feedback form to share your thoughts (you can answer anonymously) https://forms.gle/13Ht8ub8ogK76qLd9
Thanks to Bristol City Council and Quartet Community Foundation for making this project possible.
