Join an overview of the refreshed Reaching Communities funding programme.

Building on a seven-year strategy, It Starts With Community, Reaching Communities was refreshed and launched on 1st April 2025.

Reaching Communities funding will help strengthen communities and improve lives across England.

The funding is available to all communities, but our priority is the places, people and communities that need it most. This funding is suitable for voluntary or community organisations in England.

Organisations can apply for £20,001 or more, for up to 5 years.

They will provide an overview of our Awards for All programme which remains unchanged.

The session will have space for questions and provide an opportunity to meet your local funding officers in our South London team working on our Reaching Communities programme.

This session is for organisations working across the following South London boroughs: Bexley, Bromley, Croydon, Greenwich, Lambeth, Lewisham, Merton, Southwark and Sutton.

Please only attend if you work across these areas.
