Our Core Grants Programme is for core/unrestricted grants of £30,000 to £150,000, proportionate to the annual turnover of the organisation.
This round is aimed at local community organisations that:
- Have an annual turnover of between £100,000 to £500,000
- Align with our vision of equity, empowerment, and prevention
- Are based within Southwark (or Lambeth or Lewisham), with over 75% of funds going towards operations in Southwark.
