Go For It grants

break

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.
