Pride in Place: Investing in St Raphael's Estate
We've secured £20 million of long-term funding for St Raph's: £2 million every year for the next decade!
It has been selected to benefit from the Government’s Pride in Place programme, bringing long-term investment to improve our neighbourhood and support local priorities.
This is a major opportunity to deliver real change where it matters most: cleaner streets, safer communities, better spaces, and stronger local services.
But the most important question is simple:
What matters most to you?
A Community-Led Approach
Pride in Place is about putting local people at the heart of decisions. Instead of top-down plans, this investment will be shaped by residents, community groups, and local voices.
That means:
-
Listening to your experiences of living in St Raphael's Estate
-
Understanding the issues that matter most day-to-day
-
Working together to create practical, lasting improvements
Your input will help guide how funding is used, from quick local fixes to bigger long-term projects.
What Could This Funding Support?
The programme is flexible, but it focuses on:
-
Improving public spaces and local environments
-
Supporting community facilities and activities
-
Tackling safety and anti-social behaviour
-
Creating opportunities for young people and families
-
Strengthening local organisations and community life
