Community Spirit Small Grants Fund

The Community Spirit Small Grants Fund is now open for applications on a rolling basis, with grants of up to £1,000 available. 

This is a small grants fund to support events and activities that bring joy, hope and healing to our community. The majority of the beneficiaries of your project must be residents of Kensington and Chelsea. 

It is for one-off and short-term events (not spanning more than 6 weeks and not part of an organisation’s core, day-to-day work) such as cultural and celebration events, school holiday activities, workshops and sports tournaments. 

The maximum available is £1,000 and our grant must make up at least 25% of the total project cost. There is no deadline and we review applications on a rolling basis, however you must apply at least 6 weeks before your project is due to start. 

We are particularly interested in applications for projects in the south of the borough and from grassroots organisations working with minoritised or excluded communities. 

Due to limited funds, organisations may only apply once in Year 6 of the Fund (Sept26–Sept27). Please bear in mind that when the funds allocated run out, we will close the fund.
