Residents in Newry, Mourne and Down have voted for a series of projects promoting positive mental health through increased social connectivity.
The awards of up to £1500 were made through the Communities Leading Change Participatory Budgeting (PB) campaign. Communities Leading Change is a Participatory Budgeting initiative which allows residents to decide how to spend part of a public budget by voting on which projects they think would be most beneficial and make the biggest impact in their community.
A total of 39 projects have been funded with unprecedented participation in last year’s PB project.
