All the money raised is from the 5p carrier bag levy and Tesco stores are being used to fund thousands of community projects across the UK. The projects must meet the criteria of promoting community participation in the development of outdoor spaces. 

The project has altered slightly since the last round and as of September 2016 three projects in each region will be shortlisted to go forward to a public vote in each of the Tesco regions every month. 

The projects will be awarded a grant based upon the number of votes received: first place receives up to £5,000, second place up to £2,000 and third place up to £1,000. 

All projects  must deliver a physical environmental improvement and/or encourage use and long term sustainability of outdoor spaces. 

Grants will be awarded to voluntary or community organisations (including registered charities/ companies), schools, health bodies, Parish/Town Councils, local authorities and social housing providers - this list in not exhaustive and many other types of organisations may be funded.

Supporting mental health through learning something new. Develop confidence in a friendly environment.

These FREE courses are available for anyone experiencing mental health difficulties, or emotional or psychological distress. One in four of us go through this at some time in our lives. People can join Bright Side as an individual or through a support group.

The Bright Side courses are normally 12 hours long, spread over several weeks. They deliver a rich variety of practical and hands-on skills, such as outdoor and creative activities, cookery and relaxation, all in a friendly setting.

Each programme will be adapted to the interests of each group and can offer a stepping stone onto other activities.

People with understanding and experience of mental health issues are helping to design the Bright Side project because they know how learning new skills can help. Additional support will be provided to help people to join in, enjoy themselves and move on.

For more information about this exciting new project contact brightside@derbyshire.gov.uk 01629 536569
