Our fund for one-off community events, spreading joy and encouraging community cohesion
Community Spirit Small Grants Fund
The Community Spirit Small Grant Fund is now closed, but we are expecting it to reopen in September 2026. We will email all of our charity partners when it reopens. If you would like to be added to our mailing list, please email [email protected].
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 will review applications on a rolling basis, however we cannot guarantee an answer if you apply fewer than 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.
