Money available for Community Projects
The Parish Council is keen to hear from any group or organization that thinks its activities
may qualify them for capital funding from the s106 funding pot. Following a change in the
way that this funding is distributed by Amber Valley, Parish Councils are now able to
nominate projects to Amber Valley for funding for capital projects.
There is currently just over £30,000 in funding available for use in community projects
and £20,000 available to Duffield.

concern may apply for a stall or pitch to boost their coffers and raise their profile.
