Lambeth Community Fund – open for applications – Capital

Community Foundation

We have reopened applications for the two main grant programmes

for the Lambeth Community Fund. Both the small grants fund and
strategic grants are open for applications.

Both of the programmes are looking at tackling worklessness and

how we can get more residents back onto a pathway to
employment. Please see below for an outline of the fund themes,
and check on our website for full guidance notes and eligibility
criteria.

Strategic Grants available: Between £10,000 and £20,000

Fund Themes:

A. A tailored approach to personal and skills development for

those seeking employment

We are looking to fund organisations that respond to individuals

needs, and provide a range of support services which enable
individuals to progress into training or employment.

B. Community Outreach – reaching people who are out of work

Funding is available for locally based organisations working within a

particular community, in a small geographic area, estate or
neighbourhood. We are looking to support groups helping people
who are out of work, into training or employment.

C. Direct routes to employment

We are looking to fund organisations supporting people directly into

employment or apprenticeships. Funding is available for
organisations working with the business and/or voluntary sector,
encouraging apprenticeship opportunities, or training people to
access jobs that are available.

You must have at least one year’s experience in delivering

worklessness activities and not have an income greater than
£1,000,000.

Previous Lambeth Community Fund applicants and grantees may

apply.

Fund themes:

which run alongside training courses

opportunities, in order to increase access to further
training/employment. This may include the development of
work place soft skills, including communication skills,
