Civil Society Roots Programme

Fund and Prospectus 

The Building Strong Communities mission is offering funding for organisations in 10 London boroughs to strengthen their networks, capacity and voice – and explore these questions.    

The funding is for groups that are led by and for communities impacted by structural inequalities. This includes Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic Londoners, Disabled Londoners, LGBT+ Londoners, Women and Older Londoners.  

The 10 boroughs targeted in this round of funding are Bromley, Enfield, Harrow, Havering, Hillingdon, Hounslow, Newham, Redbridge, Sutton, Wandsworth. 

You can find out more about the Roots programme and view the prospectus here.   

Ideas Camp sessions 

As part of the Civil Society Roots programme, we will be running an Ideas Camp. This will be a series of workshops in each of the 10 boroughs where people and groups can come together to meet others interested in creating change. The sessions will support people to talk through priorities and ideas and get support with applying for either grant. 

Organisations can sign up for these sessions via Eventbrite.
