In January 2023 the Sutton Community Fund Microgrant Programme was launched offering grants of up to £1,000 to support organisations and small groups to deliver local initiatives to help people with the cost of living crisis over the winter months.
Originally the programme was due to end on 31st March 2023 but this was extended and it came to an end on 31st May 2023.
During this time we awarded 18 grants to local VCS organisations totalling £17,000 which included the purchase of a community washing machine/tumble dryer, support of a bursary fund for a scout group’s membership fees, and provide culturally appropriate food boxes with recipe cards.
