How would you spend £25,000?

Henbury and Brentry Community Council are asking for your ideas about how to spend £25,000 in the local community.

We have £25,000 to spend on projects that will engage and inspire young people aged 11-14, encouraging them to do well in their education. The projects will run from September until March 2011.

Ideas for these projects can come from anyone in the Henbury and Brentry area, from young people, parents, carers, families, community groups and organisations working with young people – ideas are welcome from anyone.

Once we have your ideas we will put them to the vote and you will have a chance to vote for the projects that you think are the best. We will try to include all of the ideas that we get, but we have to make sure that all of the ideas that are put to the vote are top quality and are aimed at young people aged 11-14. We will work with the Youth Forum to make sure we get this right! Everyone in the Henbury and Brentry area will be able to vote either through the website or through the voting boxes that will be in the library, some local shops and online.

We are collecting ideas during July, voting during August and getting the projects going by September.

You can post your idea on our website (go to http://henburyandbrentrynewsletter.blogspot.com/ and follow the link www.bs10bigitup.com)

Or pop your idea into the “ideas box” in Henbury Library

Or text your idea to 07880850007

Come to the public meeting in August to hear about the ideas that you can vote for

Watch out for the results in September and see your ideas come to life!
