Good Neighbour is part of Provident’s company value of lending a helping hand to those who need it. This year, the programme has awarded funding to projects including assistance dogs charities, vocational training projects, youth clubs and autism communication groups.
Projects nominate themselves by visiting https://www.providentgoodneighbour.co.uk/submissions. A panel of judges will then select three finalists which are then subject to a public vote. The winner will receive £2000. There is also funding of £750 and £500 for the first and second runners up respectively.
Provident’s Home Credit Director, Andy Parkinson, said of the campaign:
“Our Good Neighbour Programme is all about recognising projects and organisations, no matter how small, which bring about positive changes in their communities. Provident agents have always worked closely within the communities in which we operate, and we see first-hand the importance of community spirit.”
Nominations can be submitted by anyone, whether they are part of the charity or an outside supporter.
