Fox Hollies Forum and the local Police have put in a joint bid to secure £12,000 of funding from the ‘Proceeds of Crime Act’ to transform the well-established Fox Hollies Forum community centre; a great resource that benefits the whole area.  To help secure this funding for our area, all you need to do is to click on the link below and vote for ‘The Gospel’.   The closing date is the 15th January.  It only takes a few seconds and at the moment they are in second place so really need votes.    The video below explains the process.

The Gospel – Fox Hollies Forum Youth Centre
The Fox Hollies Forum was created to provide a sanctuary for the local area.  Located in an area that has suffered higher than average levels of crime and anti-social behaviour the Forum was set up by local residents to support a range of community based activities across a wide age spectrum.

In addition to their current schemes the Forum want to create a community safety hub, a youth centre for local young people to attend. To achieve their goal the forum desperately needs a revamp and new equipment to attract young people through their doors. This project will be assisted by the West Midlands Police Prince’s Trust Group.

To vote for this worthy project in our area go to the website and scroll down to Yardley Constituency and click – The Gospel
