Go For It
grants
Are you along with friends and
neighbours passionate about an activity or issue?
Could you set up a sustainable community project?
If you want to develop a not-for-profit project that brings
communities together, then we want to hear from you!
We can offer a Go For It grant of up to £1,000 if you can
demonstrate that your project will:
- continue after the grant has been spent
- be open to Newham residents from all backgrounds
- encourage communities to come together
- inspire people to get active, participate and fulfil their
potential.
Go for It grants have been operating for over four years. The
investment has seen many new local groups formed - delivering many
activities and opportunities for local people.
Examples of projects that may be eligible for Go For It
grants:
- Community based ideas that are sustainable and offer Newham
residents activities to participate in e.g. bringing people
together with a shared interest in acting that leads to the set up
of a local amateur dramatics club
Examples of projects that would not be eligible for Go For
It grants:
- activities and events with no prospect of further
development
- projects that target only one specified group
- activities that duplicate what is already provided
- arrange excursions outside of Newham
- organisational or running costs outside the specific
project.
