The successful recipients for this year's Community Fund East have been announced!
For the first time in the Community Fund's history, the option of multi-year funding has been on offer during 2025. This is in direct response to community groups looking for secure and sustained support in order to grow and produce meaningful social impact. Multi-year funding is being awarded to the following projects for the years 2025-2027:
- The Parent House - support for parents of children with SEND
- Spitz Charitable Trust – wellbeing through music for care home residents, families and staff
- Action for Kids Charitable Trust – Aspire to Work project for disabled and neurodiverse children and young people
- Eastside Educational Trust – art-based wellbeing and empowerment sessions for children with SEND
- Society Links – digital training for women from local refuges escaping violence
One year funding is also being awarded to the following projects:
- The Garden Classroom – Urban Forest School
- Training Link – digital inclusion for refugees
- Hackney Playbus – core funding
- Bunny Productions – Age Gap chats
- The Reanella Trust – Resilience, Recovery Relief Project for children and young people with bipolar disorder
All chosen entries have been selected on the basis that they will offer positive benefits – social, cultural, arts and health – to their local communities.
The next available round of funding will be for our Community Fund West. Please check back in the spring for further details. As multi-year funding was awarded in the spring of 2025, the funding round in 2026 will be for 1 year projects only.
