Funding for community projects

Neighbourhood Small Grants Programme 2024/25

Neighbourhood Grants Website Header

The Neighbourhood Small Grants programme is open to any not-for-profit organisation including voluntary, community and faith organisations working in Newham that support local projects and activities addressing community needs. The programme is designed to empower and make positive changes in local neighbourhoods with a key focus on supporting small, emerging and local community groups who have not been successful with larger grant programmes.

The total value of this year’s fund is set at £108,000 and each neighbourhood will receive £13,500. Organisations can apply for between £500 and £1000 per application. The grant will support a minimum of 13 projects per neighbourhood and 108 across the borough. The grant programme will be managed centrally by the Council’s Resident Engagement and Participation Team and coordinated locally by our Community Neighbourhood teams.

We encourage you to think ‘outside the box’ on how you can achieve your project outcomes by considering other sources of funding, in-kind contributions and partnership working. This will help us to fund more projects and bring better value and impact to Newham.

This grant programme is now live. Running from Friday 14 June 2024 closing on Sunday 28 July 2024 at 11pm.
