  • Islington Council's Community Chest Annual
    Working in partnership Islington Council’s Community Chest Annual Review April 2015 - March 2016 Cllr Kaya Comer-Schwartz It has been another immensely rewarding year being chair of Islington Council’s Community Chest. With over a hundred applications, it’s heartening to see what a strong grassroots support network there is in the borough. Currently, welfare reform and cuts to all aspects of social services – as well as schools, health, police and a huge percentage of the council budget - continue to pile on, making the lives of Islington residents increasingly difficult. We recognise the importance of community groups in sustaining all corners of our community and I am incredibly proud that Islington Council and Cripplegate acknowledge the need to protect the Community Chest. The applications received reflect what a diverse borough we live in and that we are a place where people are in tune with the current challenges but want to be key to creating the solutions. Nationally, much discussion on the increase of isolation and loneliness is being had; it’s great to see that 44% of the applications are people trying to reduce isolation and increase involvement in the community. I want to thank all the panel members for their thoughtful consideration of all the applications and the staff of Cripplegate and the council for all their support. Introduction Islington Council’s Community Chest exists to support small organisations that, with local knowledge and reach, make a big difference to local residents. Islington Council’s Community Chest provides small organisations with grants of up to £5,000.
