The funding will support the delivery of a specific piece of work (project), and could be spent on project staff costs, trips and outings, volunteer expenses and/or moveable equipment.

Charities and other not-for-profit organisations can ally for grants of up to £2,000 as part of a City of London Corporation campaign to offer ‘warm space’ events for vulnerable people throughout the winter. The Corporatiom will support organisations to hold events anywhere in the City of London and on the housing estates it runs across the capital, that enable the elderly, those living on their own, and vulnerable people to come together and stay warm in friendly and non-judgemental spaces where everyone is welcome. Individuals can apply for funding through a City of London-based constituted group or organisation, resident association, or a charity. Applications for ‘Warm Spaces Small Grants’ can be made at any time. Grants to Provide Warm Spaces for Vulnerable People (London)

Apply for up to £10,000 to support your organisation through the cost-of-living crisis

Today, we are opening the Together for London Programme for applications. We are launching with £1 million of funding and expect to make around 100 grants. We will be funding charities directly responding to the cost-of-living crisis and prioritising those working with people and communities who are disproportionately impacted by it.

 

Applications will be open for three weeks from Thursday 27 October to Thursday 17 November. We are expecting to make decisions by 19 December but will tell you if this changes.

 

Before applying, please make sure you read the eligibility criteria and the priorities we are focusing on. We want to ensure organisations don’t spend valuable time applying for funds that they may not be eligible or right for.
