The Ripple Project has distributed \u00a310,000 in grants to support local community initiatives in Lochend, Craigentinny and Restalrig. We were pleased to be able to contribute \u00a32,000 to the ‘LCR Stands Up’ fund this year.<\/p>\n

The cheque was handed over by Harbour Homes Board Member and Harbour Connections Vice Chair, Leigh Eardley (pictured above). Leigh was joined by Ngeme Ntuli, Director of Group Finance and Business Support at Harbour Homes.<\/p>\n

\u2018LCR Stands Up\u2019 is a participatory budgeting programme, which this year saw over 600 residents in the area vote to back six local projects, who each received a grant of up to \u00a32,000 each. The grants are funded by several private donors, including Harbour Homes who own the The Ripple’s community hub building in Restalrig.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s chosen projects were \u2018Lochend Boxing Club\u2019, \u2018Tai Chi and Tea @ Craigentinny Garden\u2019, \u2018Just Dance at Disneyland\u2019, \u2018Investing in Youth Drama\u2019, \u2018The Botanical Mural at Craigentinny Primary School\u2019 and \u2018Mindfulness for Wellbeing\u2019.<\/p>\n

Tristan Green who leads ‘LCR Stands Up’ said:<\/strong> “One of the key benefits of participatory budgeting is that our local residents have democratically chosen who receives this additional funding to enhance our community.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re proud that over the last three years we\u2019ve been able to support initiatives with almost \u00a350,000 of funding. This year\u2019s grants will be used across a spectrum of initiatives, including those supporting greater mental health, the creation of a new mural at a local primary school, the upgrade of fitness equipment at the local boxing gym and helping 20 children go to Disneyland Paris to take part in a performing arts programme.”<\/p>\n
