Southwark neighbourhood funding open for applications

[legalalien]

Hi all,

Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere, but wanted to make as many people as possible aware of the following opportunities to apply for Council funding. Historically some wards have had much less variety/ volume of applications than others (and my personal suspicion is that lots of groups just aren't aware of them):

Cleaner Greener Safer Fund 2022/23

If you have an idea that could make your area cleaner, greener or safer ? please visit https://www.southwark.gov.uk/engagement-and-consultations/grants-and-funding/cleaner-greener-safer/applications

The deadline to submit an application/idea is 30 September 2021.

The 2022/23 Neighbourhoods Fund

The fund is part of the council?s Empowering Communities Programme team to support activities run by local groups, for local people, across the borough. A total of ?630,000 is available to be shared between groups across the borough. The funding will provide financial support for local community led projects that enhance inclusion, improve neighbourhoods and develop stronger communities.

We are encouraging applications from new and emerging groups; Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic groups; as well as established community and voluntary sector groups.

Applicants can apply online at https://southwarkgrants.co.uk/ .The fund closes at 12 noon, Monday 11 October 2021.

Thanks Legal Alien

I'm sure our local councillors used to encourage people to apply for these!
