Today may be Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves’s ‘Big Day’ – but people in Horsham are being urged to take part in The People’s Budget.

Horsham District Council launched its new ‘People’s Budget’ funding scheme earlier this year in which £100,000 is being made available to local charity groups and community organisations that support children and young people under 25.

A total of 15 applicants have been shortlisted and they will receive funds in line with a public vote – ensuring, says the council, that local residents ‘can decide how the funds are used for priorities that matter most to them.’ People can vote from now until midnight on November 10.
