Area Based Grant (ABG) was funding allocated from Nottingham City Council to Area Lead Organisations for the eight areas of the city. The funding started in 2013 and finished in 2024.
We were the lead organisation for the Area Based Grant (ABG) for Area 6 (Mapperley, St Ann’s and Dales) from April 2016 and the lead for Area 7 (Clifton East and Clifton West) from March 2023. Funding was delivered across three areas - Play and Youth (term time only) Employment and Skills and Small Group Support.
As the area lead organisation we provided support to young people, community associations, the voluntary and community sector, as well as employment and skills training. We wanted to make sure the communities of Mapperley, St Ann’s and Dales and Clifton East and Clifton West) got the support they needed and deserved.
As part of ABG we also hosted a number of networks supporting ABG partners these are the Children and Young Peoples Network, Health and Wellbeing Network, Hardship Network, Clifton Partnership and More in Common Nottingham. Although ABG funding has ended we continue to host the Children and Young Peoples Network, Health and Wellbeing Network and Hardship Network to support partners working in St Ann's and Sneinton and across City - South.
