With over 240,000 votes cast, the finalists have been chosen!

We’ve had a record number of projects apply to the Calor Rural Community Fund this year. With the lucky 42 finalists located all over the country. 

 

From village hall post offices and rearing queen bees, to playground refurbs and new sails for dinghies, we’ve seen a variety of weird, wonderful and wacky projects and look forward to seeing which 21 will be this year’s winners.

As an extra bonus, and an addition to this year’s Community Fund, 7 projects have utilised the Crowdfunding platform so far, raising more than £4,000. There’s still match funding available for projects so keep an eye out for updates.

We’ll be announcing the lucky winners on Facebook on 18th July, so stay tuned throughout the day!
