WeÂ’re looking for projects across the capital that will plant thousands of trees and give Londoners the chance to get involved. There is also a new element of the grant scheme dedicated to large scale tree planting to coincide with National Tree Week in December 2018.
Applications close at 5pm on Monday 18 June. Projects should take place between September 2018 and March 2019.

London Together- Grants for using sport to improve social integration

Comic Relief and the Mayor of London have partnered together to launch the London Together Fund. This initiative will invest in projects that use sport to improve social integration across London, bringing people together from different backgrounds and strengthen local communities. This is in line with The Mayor of LondonÂ’s ambition to make London the most active and socially integrated city in the world.
Sport is a powerful tool for social change, and can be used to address a range of issues facing communities. It can support the development of essential life skills, deliver powerful messages, develop confidence and improve self-esteem. ItÂ’s a great way to bring people from different backgrounds together to strengthen community cohesion. Over the past 10 years Comic Relief has funded hundreds of projects that use sport in this way that have made a big difference to people and communities.
