Take 500 returns to Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon

Over 150 applications from community groups have been received this year for the TAKE£500+ Participatory Budget Fund.

This project has been growing over the last four years and making real and lasting impact on our residents right across the borough – and this year is shaping up to be even bigger and better! Communities from right across every corner of the borough have put forward ideas they think will have a positive impact on their area – and in the running to receive up to £1000 to fund their project! And the power is in your hands to decide who receives that funding!

At three exciting Market Stall events taking place in June 2025, each applicant could showcase their idea and how it can benefit their community. All the public had to do, is come along to an event, have a look at all the different ideas and vote for their favourites! Final results will be announced soon
