Info on Grants
We fund organisations supporting the development of children and young people between the ages of 8 and 25 years in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham.
Since our inaugural grant year 2020-21, we have given more than £300,000 to organisations delivering services across the borough - you can see a list of these organisations on the Community Partners section of the website.
We will be open for applications for the 2024 grant round from 1st December 2023. About £75,000 of grant funding will be available for work in Hammersmith and Fulham starting in 2024. Our priority is to provide grants for ‘open access’ youth clubs and projects that are helping to meet basic needs within a youth work context.
Subject to Trustees approval, the minimum grant award will be £5,000 and the maximum £10,000.

What are the safeguarding expectations?
We expect organisations that we fund to have high standards of safeguarding arrangements in place. As a minimum this will include:
Safeguarding policy in the applicant organisation’s own name.
Named safeguarding representative within the organisation.
Safeguarding training for all staff, volunteers, who have face-to-face contact with Children and Young people:
Training must be appropriate to the nature of the work and must be refreshed regularly.
Training should cover both safeguarding best practice and a briefing on the organisation’s safeguarding policies and procedures.
All people working with children are subject to relevant background checks i.e. Disclosure & Barring Service. This includes all staff, management committee, trustees or volunteers, who have direct access to children. Checks must be refreshed regularly.
Safeguarding Children policy includes clear steps to take in the event of an incident or disclosure, including who to inform and how to contact them.
