Dear potential contestant, dare I say potential winner…
You are invited to apply to our 10th Dragons’ Den, taking place on the evening of Fri 22nd March! Held in Westfield Sports and Community Centre. 6pm to 8pm (doors open at 5pm for contestant set-up).
Our Dragons’ Den community event is designed to enable residents and organisations to receive support and funds to carry out projects that will benefit and improve the communities within Radstock and Westfield (including Writhlington, Clandown, Tyning and Haydon).
Residents, groups and organisations are invited to apply to take part to win up to £500 each – and make good things happen in our community!
The first 15 applicants will be given the opportunity to pitch, so get your applications in ASAP!
The community* decides! Applicants will be making their pitch to the audience (made up of residents), who will vote for their favourite 5 projects.
There will be up to ten winners!
There will be cake!
There will be fun and a chance to connect with the community and stakeholders (last time from Quartet Community Foundation, TNL Community Fund, Somer Valley Rotary, and 3SG).
The application form is simple and quick to fill in, all you need is an idea to make our community an even better place to live!
If you would like to talk your idea through please contact Rob, our worker: robwicke@radstockwestfield.org.uk / 07901950114
*Please note that only people who live, work or volunteer in the Radstock and Westfield area are able to vote – map here: About Us – Big Local | my Radstock | my Westfield (radstockwestfield.org.uk)
Importantly, it’s local people who will decide which projects are the priorities.
We believe that from small acorns, grand oak trees will grow, creating opportunities to inspire, engage and entertain local residents – 90 projects have already been supported… will you be the 100?
Application closing date: 5pm, Fri 1st March.
