Funding for  Whaley4Wards projects will come from a variety of sources.

• An initial  injection of  £1000 funding from Whaley Bridge Town Council has been agreed.
• Grants – We intend to target Grant money to service proposed and new projects.
• GoingLocal -There is an existing GoingLocal Grant pot from High Peak Borough Council, the terms of which have yet to be approved for this year, but which has in the past been accessible for small community projects(~£500 per project).
• Regeneration Budget – For 2011/2012  HPBC will provide regeneration partnerships in Whaley with £4K. From 2012-13, grants are to be match funded by WBTC.
• Sponsorship – There are a number of opportunities to access funding via sponsorship or other inventive revenue generation schemes which will be considered. If you wish to participate, or propose a scheme, please contact the secretary, Martin Thomas - martinlthomas@aol.com 
• Tesco 106 money – In order to mitigate the retail impact of Tesco’s extended store within Whaley Bridge, Tesco have agreed to make available a sum of £115,000  as part of a ‘106’ agreement, which is targeted towards four local projects, which currently have general outlines only. Within these  outlines, Whaley4Wards can have a major role in hardening up and defining these projects and how they should be implemented. The four project definitions are shown here. This money will only become available once development commences and will be available for a period of 5 years.
• Donations –  As project ideas become better formed, Whaley4Wards will be very grateful for any donations towards any local projects. Donations needn’t mean just money. Time and resources would be gratefully received also. This means we can get projects implemented much quicker and you can make a direct and lasting impact on your town.  Ongoing and planned projects will be indicated on our Project page along with anticipated costings.
