22 community groups secure Community Choices funding in Falkirk

Over 6100 valid votes were cast across all nine council wards in the most recent PB process in Falkirk, held in February 2025. Helping 22 of the 57 community groups in the public vote secure their share of just over £100,000.

Since launching in 2020, more than £3.4m has been allocated through Falkirk’s Community Choices, helping community groups across the Council area deliver 160 projects that have made a real difference in their communities.

Councillor Cecil Meiklejohn, Leader of Falkirk Council, said:

“This round of Community Choices has shown just how creative and committed local groups are. From big social media pushes to personal conversations in the community, the effort to encourage people to vote has been nothing short of inspiring. I want to thank every group that applied and every person who took the time to vote – this programme continues to prove that when communities lead, great things can happen.“
