Active Grants are small grants (up to £3,000) to encourage people to get involved in their communities. The programme has two separate strands: for young people and for older people. A key element of the programme is to stimulate and support beneficiaries to take the lead in shaping the project.

The aim of the projects is to encourage social cohesion, improve self-confidence and employability in young people; and, to encourage physical and mental activity, decrease isolation and encourage participation in older people.

If your organisation is based in the London Boroughs of: City of London, Hackney, Newham, or Tower Hamlets, you can find more details of the programme and how you can apply here.
