The Grenfell Young People’s Fund is an Evening Standard Dispossessed Fund initiative. The Evening Standard Dispossessed Fund was set up in 2010 to help grassroots charities tackling poverty, inequality and exclusion across the capital.
On the day of the Grenfell Tower fire in 2017, the Evening Standard newspaper and The London Community Foundation launched a fundraising campaign for those affected by the fire. In the subsequent months, The London Community Foundation received funds from other appeals, including the #Game4Grenfell football match (whose proceeds were added to the Evening Standard Dispossessed Fund), the Artists for Grenfell fundraising single, the FA Community Shield football match and from The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.
The aim of this fund is to improve the lives of children and young people affected by the Grenfell Tower fire.
Themes
Through this fund, we want to provide funding for organisations who can provide the following outcomes for the children and young people being supported:
• Children and young people have improved wellbeing
• Children and young people are engaged, empowered and have a role in society
• Young people are ‘work ready’ and/or employed
Eligibility
Grant size
Grants of up to £15,000 per year over 3 years are available, so a total grant of £45,000 will be available per organisation over the 3-year period. Organisations can apply for a maximum of £15,000 per year.

Funding is difficult for nearly everyone and this event will give you the opportunity to explore what you might need to do next on your journey or simply give you ideas for future applications.
It will also be a great opportunity to meet others also thinking about funding, quite simply a great networking event.

For those that have yet to obtain funding and those that have found it difficult when applying for funding this is really the event for you so make sure you come along.
Those who are in larger organisations and have years of experience in obtaining funding may have staff and volunteers who could benefit from this event. It really might be just the thing needed to provide that extra bit of development for them.

The NHS in North West London is asking local people to respect the dedicated NHS staff who care for them by launching a #ZeroTolerance campaign to tackle threats of violence, abuse or harassment against NHS staff.
H&F CCG also launching our #ZeroTolerance campaign in response to the growing level of harassment of NHS staff that takes place online.
Threatening behaviour that targets staff members on social media such as Twitter, Facebook or Instagram is unacceptable, but unfortunately increasingly common in the digital age.
We have a zero tolerance attitude towards any incident in which an employee is abused, threatened or assaulted, either in person or online, and will take legal action if necessary.
This includes:
– Use of force that results in physical injury or personal discomfort
– Serious or persistent use of verbal abuse
– Staff who are assaulted or abused outside their place of work
– Threatening behaviour that targets staff members on social media such as Twitter, Facebook or Instagram
