About Voice Your Choice:

Voice Your Choice is a £40,000 Participatory Budgeting Programme, offering small grants of up to £2,000 for ideas that support positive steps towards employment. Stage one of the process involves organisations submitting a project proposal, those that meet the criteria will move on to stage two, where the community will decide how public resources are allocated by attending a voting event in their locality.
