Hackney has five Community First panels that can decide on projects for funding in their area.  

• Chatham Ward
• Dalston Ward
• deBeauvoir Ward
• Hoxton Ward
• Leabridge Ward

Neighbourhood Matched Fund is a matched fund programme, which means that every £1 provided in funding must be matched by a similar amount of in-kind donations (this means donations of cash, services, free products or volunteer time).

The panels will make their recommendations for funding by 30th March 2014 so see the links above to find out more about what types of project they will fund and how to apply.
