and live on Freeview channel 276
Calico Community Choice: Your Voice, Your Budget aims to give members of the community the support they need to make much-needed local projects become a reality.
And it will be the community themselves who will decide which projects receive the money; every Calico Homes customer will be able to vote for the best projects though Calico Community Choice.

Hide AdFunding requests can be made by individuals and new or established community groups. The Community Investment Team at Calico Homes will work to connect them with suitable partners who can support the activity to become a reality.
After proposals are made, residents can vote on which community projects benefit them most. The project with the most votes will be brought to life by Calico Homes through their community budget. Regular updates will be given to residents on the progress of investment.
The Community Investment Team at Calico Homes will be hosting events at community centres across Burnley for tenants to get involved.
Emmy Dickinson, Community Engagement Officer at Calico Homes’ Community Investment Team said: “We cannot wait to see what potential projects will receive funding in our communities.
