The Greenwich Peninsula Community Fund opened for the first year of grant funding in 2023. Funded primarily by Knight Dragon, this fund has been established to support the growing community of Greenwich Peninsula as the area develops.
What can the fund support?
Location
The Fund will support community projects directly delivered within the Greenwich Peninsula ward boundary. Please note that a charity or organisation does not need to be registered within the Greenwich Peninsula ward to apply for this fund. However the funding spent needs to directly benefit the residents and community of Greenwich Peninsula with 80% of a project’s delivery occurring within the Peninsula.
Themes
The Fund will provide grants to community projects, voluntary sector organisations or community groups based or operating in the Greenwich Peninsula. Projects will be required to demonstrate social value through:
- Improved access to employment and training opportunities across the Peninsula
- Active participation in the society (civic engagement) and improvement in life skills
- Delivering inclusive health and wellbeing programmes
- Positive impact on the local environment, air pollution is reduced, safeguarding the natural environment, resource efficiency and circular economy solutions
- Projects that create more resilient communities by demonstrating that crime is reduced, vulnerable people are helped to live independently.
- More opportunities for disadvantaged people and those most vulnerable in the community including full time employment opportunities for armed forces veterans, homeless employees, mothers returning to work, survivors of modern slavery employees, young care leavers, rehabilitating offenders, young people who are Not in Employment, Education, or Training (NEETs).
- Innovative projects that have a positive social, economic and environmental impact on the community.
Income threshold
There is no income threshold for groups applying to this fund, however, we are looking to support local community projects and priority will be given to locally based community and resident organisations. If your organisation has an income of over £1m per annum, please call and speak to us before you make an application. In a competitive situation, priority is likely to go to smaller organisations.
Grant size
Organisations can apply for grants between £5,000- £20,000 to be spent within 12 months of the grant award date for projects that support residents of the Greenwich Peninsula Ward.
Source of funding
This fund receives funding from Knight Dragon.
