Details

Tenants' Choice is the name of the participatory budgeting scheme to specifically benefit Falkirk Council tenants. It gives tenants a say in how their rent can be used for small projects in their community.

An application for funding should aim to meet all or some of the following criteria:

  • Benefit Falkirk Council tenants
  • Help improve the quality of a community where tenants live
  • Enhance the environment and or improve the appearance of a housing estate which includes Falkirk Council tenants
  • Help solve a problem identified by a group which will assist tenants
  • Help with costs of starting up a new group. Start up costs can include things like setting up Wi-Fi, utility costs and equipment.

When thinking about a project those applying will need to consider any ongoing costs and how the project will be sustained. For example, if you apply for a community garden, you will need to think about the costs of keeping the garden neat and tidy. Also, consider the cost of yearly planting which you may want to ask for a contribution to as part of your application. Please also seek permission from the landowner. If you need assistance with this, please contact the Community Engagement Team prior to submitting your application.

It is important also to consult on your project. This could be conversations, phone calls, texts, emails, meeting notes etc.
