New £3.5million funding boost for community groups

427

Local voluntary and community sector (VCS) organisations have received a major £3.5million per year funding boost, as applications open for the Mayor’s Community Grants Programme.

The new funding has been created following engagement with VCS groups and residents, and the projects awarded funding will run from November 2023 to March 2027. An important principle of the scheme is to support all sections of the community, so groups are encouraged to get their applications in before the deadline on Monday 5 June.
