Community Voices Shaping the Future of Local Funding

How can future community grant funding best support Burnley’s communities?

That was the focus of our latest Pride in Place stakeholder session, which brought together local organisations and community representatives to share their ideas, experience and insight.
The discussion generated valuable feedback, practical suggestions and important questions for us to consider as the Town Board continue developing the Community Grant scheme.
The Town Board will shortly be sharing further information for organisations interested in administering and delivering the Community Grant scheme.
A huge thank you to everyone who took part and contributed to such a positive and constructive session.

🏙️ Pride in Place in action: supporting a safer and more welcoming Burnley town centre

Following the recent announcement of the first Burnley Pride in Place funding awards, the Town Board are pleased to share more about the investment being made in the Burnley Town Centre Warden programme.

The Town Board know that concerns about safety, alongside negative perceptions and coverage of the town centre, can affect how people feel about visiting, shopping, working and spending time in the town.

This investment is about taking practical action to help change that experience.

The Town Centre Wardens provide a visible, friendly and reassuring presence across Burnley town centre, helping to deter antisocial behaviour, responding quickly when support is needed and working closely with local businesses and other partners.

By supporting the Town Centre Warden programme through Pride in Place, the Town Board want more people to see and feel a positive difference in Burnley town centre, creating an environment that feels safer, friendlier and more welcoming for everyone.

This investment forms part of Burnley’s wider Pride in Place ambition to create a thriving and inclusive town, shaped by the needs and aspirations of its communities. Read More https://ourtownourplan.org.uk/first-pride-in-place-funding-approved-as-burnleys-20m-regeneration-plan-moves-into-delivery

The Town Board look forward to sharing further updates as the programme develops.

🎉 The first Burnley Pride in Place funding has been awarded!
The Town Board are delighted to award the first Burnley Pride in Place funding to the Burnley Town Centre BID Wardens and Burnley 2027 Year of Culture.

Burnley Pride in Place is a £20 million long-term programme shaped around local priorities and focused on creating stronger communities, thriving places and more opportunities for the people of Burnley.

The Town Centre Wardens will help local people see and feel a difference on the ground. They offer a visible and reassuring presence, help deter antisocial behaviour, provide rapid support and assist businesses, residents and visitors with practical help and advice. Two wardens will be in place over a 12-hour period, seven days a week, helping to make the town centre feel safer and more welcoming.

At the same time, Burnley 2027 Year of Culture will help Burnley tell a new story. Through festivals, exhibitions, performances, digital events and community-led activity, it will celebrate the creativity already found across our borough and open up new opportunities for people to participate and volunteer.

The Town Board look forward to sharing more about both programmes this week.
