£30k community centre grants up for grabs
Community centres across Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight and Kent can apply for funding from Southern Water to help keep people warm this winter.
Extra support for local Community Centres
We are offering 30 grants, worth £1,000 each, to support hubs providing vital services across the region, with the cost of energy bills and essential running costs.
Now in its third year, the grants programme has already awarded funding to more than 40 community venues including social pantries, homeless drop-in spaces and arts centres, which provide hubs for events, support groups, classes, winter warmer spaces and befriender clubs.
Alex Willumsen, our Community Partnerships and Programme Manager, said:
“We know community centres play a vital role in the lives of so many people across our region and especially during the winter, when as well as providing services for local residents, they also offer a safe space to keep warm. We are pleased to once again be able to offer these grants to help ensure they can keep their doors open and continue to support local communities.”
You can apply for a Community Centre Grant until 5pm on 31 October 2024.
