Moniaive Initiative would like to extend our thanks to the Investing in Communities Fund nearly £91,000 of funding they have granted us since 2020. This has allowed us to progress all of the projects we have been working on with various groups in Glencairn. 

These funds have allowed us to:

a) see our existing projects (Affordable Housing and the Hive) through the difficult Covid years,  

b) provide vital support to  a number of other local organisations, including Moniaive Playcare, Glencairn Memorial Institute, Glencairn Bowling Club and Glencairn Land and woods Trust, assisting them in progressing their own projects, and

c) consult with the community, identify and commence new projects in our key theme areas: Flooding & Resilience, Sustainable Transport, Heritage & Culture, Economic Regeneration, Health & Wellbeing, Renewable Energy, and Community Spaces

Moving forward we’ll be applying for funding to progress the priorities that you identified, based on what you have told us in your Community Survey, are important to the residents of Glencairn.

These include:

Flooding & Resilience, Sustainable Transport, Heritage & Culture, Economic Regeneration, Health & Wellbeing, Renewable Energy and Community Spaces

Please bear with us until we achieve the funding requires to continue to progress these priorities. If you are interested in volunteering for any of our key priorities, we would love to hear from you. Please get in touch via moniaiveinitiative@gmail.com.

Thank you for your continued support.
