The Mayor of London’s development corporation for West London, Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC) has today announced a new round of funding for its Small Grants Programme.
This exciting programme will provide £70,000 in total to support grass-roots initiatives. Community organisations can apply for grants between £1,000 and £7,000 to kick-start their projects in the OPDC area. This year, the programme is focussing on awarding funding to community-led projects that either support the cost of living crisis, work with young people or help to champion local diversity.
First launched in January 2019, the programme has awarded grants to over 50 community projects, including dance classes, after school clubs, mentoring, community magazines, foodbanks and support for local charities. To date, it hasreached over 45,000 beneficiaries across West London.
To apply for this round of funding, interested applicants must be based in the London Boroughs of Brent, Ealing or Hammersmith & Fulham and should be already working within the Old Oak and Park Royal area or be looking to make a difference to the local community.
