Grants

Micro Grants

Micro grants are made with proceeds from the Community Lottery and aim to support, promote and improve vibrant London communities, available specifically to small local groups, initiatives and individuals wishing to develop a community based project or activity. They are to be used primarily for small projects and activities, which are otherwise difficult to fund, rather than as a small contribution to a larger project.

Our 1st grant purchased digital cameras for children, aged 8-15, in Spitalfields who took pictures of their lives and exchanged them with a rural school in Pune, India, to learn about another country, culture and way of life.

Zaina (8) from London said: “I want the children in India to see what people look like, to see what babies look like, to see our animals and to see what kind of toys we have here.”
