🐉 Twerton & Whiteway Dragons Den is back this August! 🐲

After last year's success, we're running another round of Dragons Den, this time at Whiteway Fun Day on August 22nd (12-5pm at Rosewarn Park).

If you have an idea for a project that benefits our community then you can apply for a grant of up to £300, then pitch the idea to the community at Fun Day (or ask a willing mate to pitch on your behalf)! People will then vote for the projects to receive funding.

More info here on criteria and application (the form is quick, honestly): https://www.twertonandwhiteway.org/dragons-den-small-grants-scheme/

Please share with people you know who are either already doing great things in Twerton/Whiteway, or are hoping to..

(This small grants scheme is funded by the money raised by the community at last year's Network events, plus donations including a grant from the Cobalt Trust).
