Last week the government confirmed that the CWF will support the rebuilding of social infrastructure in some of England’s most deprived areas

🎉This is a massive achievement and concludes our 7 year campaign:

We are still celebrating last week’s announcement that the CWF will receive total funding of £175 million from dormant assets and @tnlcommunityfund.org.uk 🤝

This is a crucial investment in England’s most disadvantaged neighbourhoods which will provide support for community-led decision making 🧑‍🤝‍🧑

Yesterday, the government’s announcement marked a return to the principles originally proposed by the CWFA 🎉

This crucial investment will place resources and decision-making powers directly in the hands of local communities 🤝
