Background
This event will showcase local projects supported through the Love Grahame Park Community Programme. This includes activities for young people, initiatives helping to bring people together through arts and environmental activities, and to support people into employment.
We will showcase nine local projects that received a combined total of £25,000 in grant funding, decided by a resident panel. We will also highlight youth projects funded through a separate Grahame Park–focused programme, run by Young Barnet Foundation’s Space to Grow initiative. A total of £11,800 was awarded to these projects, thanks to funding from the Barnet Recreational Trust and a private donor.
