Grants of between £5,000 and £10,000 are available to non-profit organisations for activities aimed at increasing awareness of Windrush-related schemes and addressing barriers to participation.
The Home Office's funding is designed to engage communities and improve understanding of the Windrush Compensation Scheme and Windrush documentation process.
A total of £150,000 is available for the 2026 to 2027 period. Grants ranging from £5,000 to £10,000 will be awarded to support short, deliverable projects that must be completed by 31 March 2027.
Who can apply:
The fund is open to unincorporated charities, community organisations, community interest companies, registered charities, grassroots organisations and companies with a charitable purpose. Partnership applications are also permitted. Applicants must demonstrate at least two years' experience within the past three years in delivering Windrush-related engagement activities.
Projects are expected to include at least one in-person event and focus on raising awareness, addressing misinformation and encouraging eligible individuals to apply. The initiative also seeks to gather insights into why some groups, including those from Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nigeria, Ghana and India, may not be applying.
Funding can be used for event delivery, marketing materials, communications campaigns, use of media channels and staff time directly linked to the project.
