The Big Lottery Fund is offering grants of £300-10,000 for groups to hold one off events or activities which celebrate their local community.
You could celebrate something from your community’s history or a local hero. Or maybe it could a chance to bring people together to get to know their neighbours better. Supplementary schools know how to celebrate! How about using that to have a celebration for your whole community, bring people together, share performances, food, culture. Get to know your neighbours and help them get to know you.

City Bridge Trust and UBS have launched the third round of the Stepping Stones Fund. This programme provides grants to charitable organisations across Greater London who want to get ready for social investment.
The Stepping Stones Fund was created in recognition of the gap between the grant finance available for organisations and the requirements of an organisation that seeks to secure social investment through the City of London Corporation Social Investment Fund or any other social investor. We consider that social investment might be an appropriate financing route for some social sector organisations which are able to generate sufficient revenue.
Grant funding of up to £50,000 is available for each successful applicant. The Stepping Stones Fund is designed to help organisations test the viability of new models of delivering outcomes so they can approach social investors in the future. For those who are closer to the market, the Stepping Stones Fund offers up to £150,000 of risk finance per organisation.
Full details of the programme are available here: http://www.citybridgetrust.org.uk/CBT/Grants/SteppingStonesFund/
The deadline for initial applications is August 15, 2016. Final decisions about funding will be announced within about 4 months of the application deadline.
The Stepping Stones Fund team will offer open information sessions to interested organisations on the following dates: June 17th, July 6th and July 26th. Full details are available on City Bridge Trust’s website.
