FUNDING
Transition Town Brixton is happy to announce that we have £1000 to distribute to TTB groups for projects in 2009. You will need to get your proposals in by the first of February.  Please submit a 200-500word proposal on what you plan to do and a budget. Be aware we will be distributing the money between the best proposals so keep budgets slim.  We will give priority to projects that will achieve these aims:

•       Create physical manifestations of the transition ethos.

•       Bring the transition message to communities not yet engaged.

•       Establish new networks to further our aims locally.

•       Create a new carbon reduction project.

•       Create a new resilience building project.

•       Create a quality U-Tube videos for outreach (or other new media ideas).

TTB is also pleased to announce that we have received £5000 funding over the next 2 years from the Capital Communities Foundation Grassroots Fund. This is to help with our core activities.
