Applications are now open for National Park City Festival community activity grants.
The Mayor of London is working with the National Park City Foundation, other partners, and Londoners to make London the world’s first National Park City this year. We’ll be marking this moment with the National Park City Festival in July. Now we’d like you to help make it happen.
The festival runs from 20-28 July and will celebrate London’s great outdoor spaces. There’ll be fun activities from culture and health and fitness to wildlife, the environment and more. We will also encourage Londoners to discover new spaces and find fresh ways to get in touch with nature. We want to give all Londoners, community groups and businesses the opportunity to take part. With your help, we can make our city greener, healthier and wilder.
The Mayor is offering community activity grants of £200-2000 to support organisations that want to hold festival activities in their local area. We particularly want to reach out to broader networks and attract audiences who traditionally under-use outdoor space.
Applications are open now with the deadline of 5pm on Friday 15 March. All activities must take place during the National Park City Festival in July.
We would love to hear your fantastic ideas for festival activities from sing-a-long trails and wildlife-hotel building workshops, to park parkour and canal paddle boarding. For more information or to apply, visit http://www.london.gov.uk/national-park-city-festival-grants. Please also feel free to share with any relevant organisations who may be interested in taking part.
If you don’t need grant funding for your activity, you can still add it to the event listings and programme. We’ll be posting more details soon.

Hammersmith & Fulham Council is investing in a community-led redesign of North End Road in Fulham – and would love to know what you think.
Since 2014, the council has been working hard with businesses, traders and residents to improve North End Road as a thriving retail and food destination.
And now it is ready to move to the next stage.
“We want to do things with residents and businesses, not to them,” said Cllr Andrew Jones, H&F Cabinet Member for the Economy and the Arts. “This is why we’re asking local people and businesses to share their ideas and suggestions on how we can improve North End Road to live and work in and visit – all part of our plan to make H&F the best place to live, work and play in Europe.”
Complete the online survey here: Tell us what you think
Survey closes on Friday 22 February

H&F Council has already been talking to shopkeepers, market traders, community representatives and local community groups.
Based on what they said, the council is putting together an initial wish list of possible future improvements. Some of these will be small and quick, others will be long-term projects which need more investment.
All residents are invited to view and give their opinions on the wish list on 8 February (from 2pm to 6pm) and 9 February (from 10am to 2pm) at St John’s Church, North End Road, Fulham (Click Here for a map)
Based on the responses to this and the online questionnaire, the council will come up with a plan for the way forward, which will involve further consultation.
