Communities Fund

The Department for Communities and Local Government will provide funding up to approximately £70,000 to local authorities working with community groups to deliver solutions to entrenched social issues for example relating to:

  • Early intervention and high cost individuals- people falling through gaps in statutory services perhaps because they do not meet individual service criteria or thresholds
  • Adult social care– for example: tackling social isolation including via community transport schemes; projects aimed at safeguarding vulnerable people including rehabilitation and preventative work around domestic abuse; and/or; work aimed at increasing public health and wellbeing
  • Children’s Services– this could, for example, include work around disabled children’s support services or those aimed at helping children from disadvantaged backgrounds
  • Employment Support– we are particularly interested in proposals working with those furthest from the labour market and/or where the training is tailored to reflect opportunities in the local employment market and so more likely to result in sustainable outcomes

This will be through £2.5m funding over the next two years. They invite proposals from local collaborations between local authorities and neighbourhood or community organisations to bid by 16 January. Bids should be for new projects or to extend an existing project into another area but not to prop up an existing approach.

Funding would be provided in the form of a direct grant to a local authority during the 2016/17 financial year. We expect that work would start in 2016/17 and continue until the summer of 2018.

Food for London Grant Information

Food for London grant information:

Food for London is the new Evening Standard Dispossessed Fund campaign highlighting the disconnect between the prevalent food poverty that exists in London and the tonnes of surplus food that is thrown away or fed to animals.

Through this fund, the aim is to support groups working across London who are turning edible food surplus into a social solution; who are diverting fresh food that is fit for human consumption away from being wasted and using it to feed people in need; who are developing solutions to improve how food is redistributed; who are striving to reduce food waste at production or store level and in the home; and who are directly delivering solutions to alleviate hunger and food poverty in London. The Fund is also keen to support projects that encourage volunteering opportunities for people to get involved.

If you are a charity, community group, CIC or social enterprise tackling food waste and/or using fresh food to address food poverty, you can apply for a grant of between £1,000 and £20,000. Applications must be received by 11 November 2016 and successful applicants will be notified in February 2017.

You can access the Fund Guidance notes and online application form at: http://www.londoncf.org.uk/grants/food-for-london.aspx

Once you have read the guidance notes, if you still have any questions you can contact The London Community Foundation team on 0207 582 5117 or email applications@londoncf.org.uk.
