Community projects in each of Lambeth’s wards can get their hands on thousands of pounds of funding.

Some £12,000 is available for each of the borough’s 21 wards to put towards building works or equipment.

Up to three projects can be funded in each area, while cash can also be pooled with other wards for cross-border projects.

Projects to benefit last year included a project buying a Wii Fit to help keep elderly residents in shape, and another planting trees and buying play equipment for children.

Anyone with an idea for how the Local Community Action Fund should be spent in their area should contact their local councillor.
