Belfast Take 5 steps health PB

Participatory Budgeting in Belfast gives residents a direct say in the decisions that affect them. It helps generate new ideas, strengthen community spirit and direct funding to where residents think it will make a difference.

The most recent participatory budgeting project in Belfast supports the Take 5 steps to wellbeing. These are:

  • Connect
  • Keep learning
  • Be active
  • Take notice
  • Give

Projects could apply for up to £2500, and at four voting events held across Belfast in Spring 2025 over 2,000 people voted. Expressions of interest to apply closed on Friday 10 January 2025. Belfast city has its own dedicated web pages for PB, and has run a series of similar programmes.
