Community projects
Search for community-led projects that are either underway or are looking to get support from people in your area.
Find out what help people are looking for and how you can get involved and contact the project owner or sponsor. Even if you can't help out yourself you can easily share the projects with people in your own network that might be able to. It's also a great way of finding out what’s going on in your area.

Acton Gardens Skate Club
We have raised £10,000 for this 12 month program, and are seeking to raise a further £5000 to ensure that our families can afford the fees. With families paying £5 per session, for a 6 week course at £30 per 6 weeks in comparison to £75 as per our other clubs, without funding. The cost of the venue is higher than any of those we use for our regular club and this prevents us from adding free spaces.
