The People Positive Community Fund supports charities and community groups addressing priority local issues and benefitting people most in need. It is designed to bring businesses, suppliers and other organisations together to support local causes and further strengthen Mayfair & Belgravia.
What can the fund support?
Grants between £5,000 and £15,000 are available to support work addressing at least one of the following wellbeing priorities identified through comprehensive research:
• Sense of safety in Mayfair and Belgravia
•Sense of community in Mayfair
•Green space in Belgravia
Applicants may be based anywhere, but the funded work must benefit communities in Mayfair and Belgravia. Applicants must demonstrate good local knowledge and / or local partnership and be able to report on the impact of their work. Project will have one year to spend the grant in full.
Size of Grant
Grants are available from £5,000 to £15,000 for up to 12 months. The panel are keen to fund a range of grant sizes. Where applications are requesting the grants at the higher end of the range it is expected that they will be able to demonstrate greater impact and will reach larger numbers of beneficiaries.
