Severn Trent – The NeighbourGOOD Scheme

Severn Trent have launched this scheme to give the communities a helping hand on existing or new schemes/projects, through funding and hands-on volunteering. They are looking to work with local projects that aim to improve the quality of life in our communities.

They would love to help with any community-driven project be that enhancing a public space or supporting a local event, from coaching for vulnerable young people to a garden refurb in a care home, we are here to help!

They want to ask customers across the region to apply for up to £2.5k funding and 20-30 Severn Trent volunteers across 2 days to support with the delivery of their projects. The money can be used towards materials for the project and our staff will come to deliver the work.

The idea is that they will be able to deliver 10 projects in total, one in each county of our region. To decide which projects they will deliver they are going to be setting up a panel of judges from each county to shortlist the projects to 3 per county, which will then go to public vote.

They are looking to open applications in the first week of September for a 4–6-week window with the shortlisted projects for each county being announced mid-end October. The public vote will open mid-November with winners being announced before Christmas and all works completed before end March 2025.
