We have provided a framework where voluntary and community sector organisations could apply for funds to make improvements to their premises to enable them to improve their own services and activities offered to local groups and residents. This framework was managed with our partners, The Kensington and Chelsea Social Fund and has been promoted through their website.

In 2021 to 2022, Twelve local community groups were identified for the funds of which some have already been awarded, for example, with the provision of fitness equipment, wheelchairs, woodworking dust extract machines, computers and servers, fridges and other kitchen equipment as well as internal building remodelling and decoration.

Update for October 2024: We are again providing a fund with the same criteria and benefits, and details of how to apply will be published soon.

We also encourage further local economic support through initiatives such as supporting local shops and services as well as the regular use of local facilities.

We would ask the community to identify other community initiative needs that we may help with.
