North Southwark Environment Trust

Community Project Grant Programme

Grants normally limited to £2,500 a year for locally based groups and projects in the northern part of the London Borough of Southwark. The trust welcomes serial applications over a three-year period up to £7,500, to give the charities it supports some funding stability, and is particularly interested in contributions that help applicants lever funds from other sources. Applications go to one of three trustee meetings a year and must arrive two calendar weeks beforehand. The trust separately runs a Golden Ticket programme of unrestricted three-year funding for organisations it has funded before.
