Our Community Builder, Eda, had a fantastic time at the Funding Event, organised by Bayo, the local MP, and SAVS on Friday 5 June at the beautiful Bellevue venue in Southchurch.

Eda was inspired to see so many local organisations come together to share information about current and upcoming funding opportunities. The room was full of energy, ideas and meaningful conversations, all focused on supporting the brilliant projects already making a difference across Southend-on-Sea.

Eda said:

“We are incredibly fortunate to have such a wide range of services, support and community spirit in our city, helping to unlock local potential and improve the wellbeing of residents.

A huge thank you to everyone involved in making the event such a success. I’m sure it will be a springboard for even more partnerships, networks and amazing local projects in the future!”
