The fund presents an opportunity to access a share of a £1.2 million pot that will create positive change and improve outcomes for residents in Enfield.Round two offers funding for projects of between £5,000 and £100,000 run by charities, voluntary groups, public bodies, educational institutions and other community groups.The Leader of Enfield Council, Cllr Nesil Caliskan, said: “The first round of funding was extremely successful with plenty of interest from groups who demonstrated that they could make a real difference in local communities .“This time round, we have increased the share of funding available by £50,000 to £400,000. I look forward to seeing innovative project proposals that will help reduce deprivation, improve the environment or widen access to employment opportunities and skills. In the current environment, the need has become more acute to support communities and neighbourhoods to thrive which is why I am incredibly proud to announce the opening of the second round of the Neighbourhood Fund.”
