London Community Foundation July 2026 Grants News
Invitation to feed into MOPAC Victims Fund
Our partner, the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC), is launching a new round of their Victims Fund for 2026/27, which supports services that benefit victims of crime across London.
The MOPAC Victims Fund is a small grants programme designed to support small and specialist organisations delivering services for victims of crime across London. The Fund will have a particular focus on improving support for communities and groups who may face additional barriers to accessing help, while addressing unmet needs and service gaps that sit outside the VAWG Grassroots Fund.
Between 2015 and 2021, the MOPAC Victims Fund awarded circa £4.8 million across six rounds of funding, including multi-year grants, to a total of 74 organisations supporting victims of crime across London.
As MOPAC develop the next round of funding, they are keen to hear from organisations working with victims of crime across London. Sign up to an online market engagement session (on Tuesday 21st or Wednesday 22nd July) to share your insights, experience and expertise to help shape the Fund's priorities, ensuring it responds to emerging needs. Alternatively you provide feedback or ask any questions via email.

The Mayor’s investment in youth clubs
The GLA have shared an update about the Mayor of London's investment in youth clubs across the city, which opens for applications on Monday 20th July 2026.
Youth clubs and youth workers play a vital role in supporting young people to thrive. To strengthen this work, the Mayor is investing over £30 million to deliver at least one late-night youth club in every London borough.
The funding will help youth clubs to extend their opening hours, providing safe, welcoming spaces for young Londoners on weekday evenings, weekends and during school holidays.
The GLA will host two online information sessions - on Tuesday 21st (am) and Thursday 23rd July (pm) - to provide an overview of the fund, the application process and eligibility criteria, with an opportunity to ask questions.
