Funding is available for grassroots organisations already making a difference in their communities.
The Thrive LDN: London Communities Micro Grant Fund offers grants of up to £2,000 (organisation's turnover below £300,000) and up to £5,000 (organisation's turnover below £500,000) to support grassroots organisations delivering existing community activities that strengthen wellbeing, resilience and belonging across London. Example projects could include existing community activities, projects that support social inclusion, peer support and community networks, and involve the arts, culture and creative wellbeing activities. You can find more on the grant webpage.
Thrive LDN is particularly looking to support projects that help some of London's most marginalised and underserved communities, such as;
- People experiencing poverty and financial hardship
- Refugee and asylum-seeking communities
- Communities affected by crisis, displacement or conflict
- Racialised and minoritised communities
- LGBTQ+ communities
- Disabled communities
- Communities experiencing exclusion, discrimination or multiple disadvantages
The London Communities Micro Grant Fund is being delivered by Groundwork London. It is commissioned by Thrive LDN, with support and funding from the Mayor of London.
