Culture and Community Grants programme relaunched (apply by 3rd July 2026)
This opportunity encourages local creatives and cultural organisations to deliver wellbeing and engagement projects in partnership with local residents. We welcome proposals for free activities in community settings and public spaces, as well as bespoke events at cultural venues for those living in Westminster. It is our ambition that the projects will address the needs of those facing financial access barriers, schoolchildren, 16 to 25 year-olds, over 65s, global majority ethnic groups, and people experiencing disabilities and social isolation.
Applicants can apply for grants between £1,000 and £8,000 for activities taking place between 14 September 2026 and 31 March 2027. Proposed projects should be located in Westminster with clear benefit to our residents. Preference will be given to applicants based in the City of Westminster. Here is all the information and application portal: Culture and Community Grants programme | Westminster City Council. The closing date for submissions is 3 July 2026.
