Welcome!
The Bristol Objective 2 Programme has now been successfully delivered and funding is no longer available. For more information and an overall evaluation of the project please see the link on the left hand side of the menu. This website should now be used for archive purposes only.
A pot of European Money was available until 2006 for projects that promote the economic regeneration of parts of the South West of England.
The South West Objective 2 Programme funding targeted the most economically and socially disadvantaged areas in the region.
The Bristol Objective 2 Neighbourhood Action Plan was developed in order to effectively deliver part of the South West Objective 2 Programme, at a local level. The Bristol Neighbourhood Action Plan provides financial assistance to projects that aim to promote social and economic inclusion. The Bristol Objective 2 target area includes five of the most disadvantaged communities in Bristol:
Ashley, Easton, Filwood, Lawrence Hill and Windmill Hill.
Under the Bristol Neighbourhood Action Plan, Objective 2 projects address one of three strategic objectives:
- Develop the potential of the local community.
- Address social, economic and environmental decline and disadvantage.
- Remove barriers to employment and training for disadvantaged groups.
Projects funded under the Bristol Objective 2 Action Plan, range from IT and new media training centres to community wardens schemes and a community finance initiative. Due to the success of the Action Plan so far, we have been awarded an additional £3.9 million European funding to extend the programme until 2008.
