Overview
Southwark Council offers a Black History Month grant. Its grants and funding page says funding is available each year for events and activities that celebrate the achievements, culture and history of African, Caribbean and diaspora... The description on the page is cut short, so we have kept to what it says and nothing more. The grant is one of several funds that Southwark Council lists for community initiatives. Others on the same page include the Culture Together Grants fund, the Cultural Celebrations Fund, the Southwark Pride fund and the Voluntary and community sector support grant. If your idea does not fit Black History Month, one of these may suit it better. The page does not give a grant amount, an opening date or a closing date. That means we cannot tell you whether applications are open right now. It only says that funding is available each year. One practical point: this page is a general list of Southwark's funds, not the full guidance for this grant. Keep that in mind when you plan your event or activity and your timings.
