Overview
The Community Events Fund from Westminster City Council pays for events that celebrate culture, community cohesion and collective reflection. The council lists it as open for applications. You can ask for up to £2,500. If two or more organisations apply together, the limit rises to £5,000. That makes a joint bid a good option if you want to run something bigger or share the work with a partner. The council offers grants to voluntary and community sector organisations in Westminster. Its funding covers areas such as arts and culture, climate change and homelessness. This fund sits within that wider offer for local groups. The page does not give a closing date for this fund, so it is sensible to apply early rather than wait. Make sure your event idea links clearly to the three themes of culture, community cohesion and collective reflection. If you are looking at other support from the council, it also lists the Neighbourhood Community Infrastructure fund and Ward Budgets, both described as ongoing. The Edward Harvist Trust, which the council manages, runs four funding rounds a year. Official source: https://www.westminster.gov.uk/leisure-libraries-and-community/grant-funding-opportunities.
