The UEFA EURO 2020 is coming to London. As part of the Mayor’s strategy for sport and social integration, the EURO 2020 Grants Programme will see up to £525,000 invested into community events and projects around our city – and most importantly, if you’re a Londoner, this money will be open to you.
The aim of the Grant programme is for all Londoners to have the chance to engage with EURO 2020 by creating positive, meaningful opportunities for local communities across the capital. Successful grant applications will enrich and bring communities together, tackle prejudices, improve health and break down barriers.
Have an idea? No matter how big or small, we want to hear your pitch. Applications open in early November and you can apply for more than one strand if you wish.

Our bid to be London Borough of Culture 2021
With less than 3 weeks left before submission date, our London Borough of Culture bid is really gathering pace. You may have noticed the appearance of some large format posters across the borough generously supported by our local partners, JC Decaux who have their HQ in Brentford.

- WeÂ’ll show him ideas weÂ’re developing with our citizens
- We’ll show him a culture superhighway of events, initiatives and projects that can bring our different parts together, spark ideas and unlock opportunity
