In Your Hands, Morecambe

Poulton Neigbhourhood Management arranged an event with Poulton community in February 2008 to distribute £20,000 on cleaner and greener projects using PB. The event was a great success, with over 100 people attending, 92% of which said they would take part again. 26 groups applied and 13 were funded through the process.
