🎉 As a member of the #CommunityWealthFund Alliance I am delighted by the news we have secured £175 million for England's doubly disadvantaged neighbourhoods
This crucial investment will place power and resources directly in the hands of communities in the areas that need it most.
🎉 A major win for the #CommunityWealthFund campaign!
We are delighted that the government has confirmed the CWF will be targeted at doubly disadvantaged neighbourhoods most in need of civic capacity building.
