The Community Culture Fund (CCF) is an initiative run by our resident involvement and engagement team, designed to help residents celebrate and promote diversity, equality and inclusion in their communities.
How does it work?
Residents can apply for up to £250 to run a project or event that brings people together and strengthens community spirit. In total, £1,000 is available each quarter. The fund is designed to make applying for monetary support simple and accessible with no lengthy forms or complicated processes.
Your project could be:
- A gardening project to brighten shared spaces
- A wellbeing activity for the community
- A welcome event to help new neighbours connect
How can residents apply?
Applying is simple, just complete a short form (available on this page when the application window opens on 1 July) including the following information:
- The amount requested and a breakdown of items required (with links).
- Details about the event or project planned
- How the chosen event or project will celebrate diversity and inclusion
Applications are reviewed by a diverse panel of colleagues and residents, ensuring fairness and representation.
If you have any questions, please contact the resident engagement team. We are keen to hear from residents and assist with any local engagement needs.
