Community Grants Programmes
London Eye Community Chest
We are absolutely delighted to announce that the next round of the London Eye Community Chest is now open for applications. Grants of up to £10,000 are available for projects that help build community and support community resilience in the SoWN area. The total fund available is £70,000. Click here for full details of how to apply.
SoWN would like particularly to thank Merlin Entertainments and the Borough of Lambeth for the funding, made possible through a S.106 agreement, that makes the Community Chest such a valuable resource for the local community.
The last Community Chest round, in 2024-25, gave grants to 13 organisations. For full details of these and the report on the outcomes achieved, click here.
Neighbourhood Community Infrastructure Grants
SoWN is currently delivering a series of projects funded through £1,000,000 in grants from the Neighbourhood Community Infrastructure Levy, helping deliver the Neighbourhood Plan vision. We currently have a part time programme coordinator who is overseeing this process. All projects are due to complete by Spring 2027. SoWN would like particularly to thank Lambeth Council for the funds that makes the following projects possible.
Health and Wellbeing Grants Programme 2024
During 2024 SoWN was invited by Lambeth Together to manage a small grants programme focused on improving health and wellbeing in the local area. We were delighted to do so and a group of judges drawn from local councillors, residents and individuals with experience of local needs selected 12 projects for support with grants ranging from £2,000 to £8,000. These projects were all successfully completed, and you can read a full report on their impact here. Sadly, funding constraints mean it was not possible to continue the Health and Wellbeing grants programme, but we are hugely grateful to Lambeth Together for their support.
