How to get involved and have your say

If you live or work in Yardley, we want you to be involved in running local services there. You can raise issues which concern you and contribute to decision making in a number of ways:

  • District Committee - the key decision making body for Yardley District and part of the Governance Framework for the City Council
  • Ward Committees provide a mechanism for members of the public to become involved in the decisions that affect their neighbourhood
  • Both District and Ward Committee reports and decisions can be found at Democracy in Birmingham

Funding Opportunities

Community Chest

For 2012/13 all wards in the City receive a Community Chest allocation of £100,000. This allocation enables the wards to fund schemes which support ward and neighbourhood working or contribute to extending community engagement, cohesion and empowerment.

Projects supported through this fund must also demonstrate that they support one or more of the outcomes in Birmingham’s Council Plan 2008 -2013 and Birmingham’s Community Strategy 2026.

Generally, any properly constituted organisation may submit a project proposal. You should first talk with the District Ward Support Officer to find out about what outcomes and locally identified priorities the Ward or District Committee is likely to support and the money that it has available.

For Wards within the Yardley District please contact your local ward support office, Virginia Yates, on 0121 464 7701 or email: virginia.yates@birmingham.gov.uk

Community First

The Community First Programme is a national programme which runs over four years until 2015. 27 Wards in Birmingham have funding through Community First. The programme is independent of Birmingham City Council and is managed by a national organisation, appointed by the Government, called Community Development Foundation. Community First funding is distributed by a Community First Panel established in the Ward. A list of Community First Panels along with other information about this programme and how to access funding is available on the Community Development Foundation Website

There may be a number of other funding opportunities available, such as Big Lottery Funding for example. For more information on this, contact your local ward support office, Virginia Yates, on 0121 464 7701 or email: virginia.yates@birmingham.gov.uk

Please give us your views. We would like you to tell us what you think of our services. It’s always great for us to hear when things go right but crucially, it’s important for us to know if we get things wrong.
