Chair of the Resident Voice Panel, Nigel Hennerley, said: “We all feel better about the place where we live when we get the opportunity to come together as a community and work with each other to make a difference.”

Applications to the Community Fund are open from April 7 until June 1. To learn more about the Regenda Community Fund here.
