Sutton Community Fund

 

Sutton community fund May 25 - Open Now image The Sutton Community Fund is a grant funding programme financed by Sutton Council and administered by Community Action Sutton. Each application is assessed and grants are awarded by an independent panel. 

Do you have an idea for a small and community focused project that would benefit Sutton residents and meet local priorities?

Your group could apply for up to £5000!

Need to know... 

  • Applications for grants from £500 to a maximum of £5,000 will be accepted.
  • Only voluntary and community groups and organisations with an income of less than £100,000 can apply.
  • The funding is for a maximum of 12 months unless it is a multi-year bid and then it is 3 years with a grant of up to a maximum of £10,000


In 2025, we are particularly interested in funding activities for children and young people in Sutton, especially activities which support children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), young carers or children looked after and care leavers.

The independent panel will also be focusing on the following key areas:

  • Cost of living - the project helps people to deal with the rising cost of living, particularly groups or communities who are more likely to be affected.
  • An inclusive place for everyone - the project promotes equality, diversity and inclusion; this could be through delivering support for specific groups to reduce disadvantages, or taking actions to bring diverse communities together to make positive change or solve a problem.
  • Action on climate change - the project promotes or delivers positive actions to reduce carbon emissions in Sutton and encourages people to adopt more sustainable behaviours (e.g. cycling, walking, recycling, reuse etc.).
