Results Night – 22 February

Posted on by

Voting is now closed and votes are being totalled. Taking a break over the half term week, we will be announcing the results on Thursday 22nd February, at the Leith Community Centre (cafe area) 6:30pm
The results will be posted online immediately following the event, but we are hoping that people will come along in person, please, if you possibly can, especially supporters of applicant groups. We are so pleased to be back ‘live’ after the Covid years, and want to be able to show the Council (who mainly fund £eith Chooses) that there is a local appetite for live community events (not just all online). This will just be a short meeting, but there will be refreshments and chat, so hopefully worthwhile popping in!

Results Night is always a bittersweet occasion as there have to be some groups who are not successful with the funding, while others are happy to hear that they have won a grant. We would like to celebrate EVERYBODY who took part!

Only 3 more days to go. If you have not yet voted online, please do so before the end (11:59pm) of Monday 5th February! So many brilliant projects, so it’s difficult to choose, as they all need funding. But it’s important that Leithers’ voices are the deciding factor – we really need as many people as possible to vote.
