We’d like to share the news that The Green Estate has joined the Community Wealth Fund Alliance. The CWFA is a group of over 700 civil society, public and private sector organisations who support the Community Wealth Fund campaign. The campaign advocates for funding for neighbourhoods that have missed out on their fair share of funding and lack vital social infrastructure. These are neighbourhoods assessed as having high levels of deprivation that have lost facilities and services including community centres, pubs and transport links, and their residents can often feel forgotten or ‘left behind’.
