We are delighted to announce that we have been given the opportunity to deliver the Grassroots Grants Programme on behalf of the Office of the Third Sector.

We will be delivering the programme in Bexley, Bromley, Camden, Greenwich, Kensington & Chelsea, Lambeth, Lewisham, Southwark and Westminster.

Grassroots is an exciting three-year scheme of grant making and endowment building, that will mean greater opportunities for small voluntary and community organisations, and give donors a chance to grow their funds faster than ever before.

Grants of up to £5000 are available now.  If you are a small community and voluntary organisation, you may be eligible to apply. Visit our Grants pages for more information.

Whether it's a Personal Fund or a new corporate fund, donors are set to benefit from Grassroots as well, with the Office of the Third Sector offering to match £1 for every £1 that a donor invests in to a new or existing fund. The match funding is available on all endowment gifts, up to a maximum of £750,000.

If you are thinking about setting up an endowment fund please call 0207 582 5117 and ask to speak to Rhys or Sonal.

It is difficult to speak adequately or justly of London. It is not a pleasant place; it is not agreeable, or cheerful, or easy, or exempt from reproach. It is only magnificent.
