Projects covering youth wellbeing, wheelchair access, play facilities and public defibrillators are seeking community support through Stroud Funding.

Four community projects across the Stroud district are seeking public backing through the Stroud Funding platform.

Stroud District Council highlighted projects focused on wellbeing support for young people, improved wheelchair access at Stroud Rugby Club, new play opportunities in North Nibley and additional public defibrillators across the district.

The council says Stroud Funding has helped 35 projects secure more than £600,000 for local improvements since the programme began. Members of the public can support current campaigns with pledges starting from small amounts.

The platform is intended to combine community fundraising with other sources of support, giving local groups a way to demonstrate public backing while working towards their target.
