Better Bankside is a Business Improvement District (BID), set up to support economic, environmental and social action to drive positive change in the area.

As part of this, they run a grants programme providing local charities and community groups with grants of £1,000 to £2,500 to support their activities. Applications are open now, and will close on the 23rd October.

Priorities are:

Supporting people affected by the ongoing cost of living crisis
Preventing homelessness and helping people affected by this to develop skills or move into employment
Bringing people together to build social cohesion and create connections between different groups

Priority areas are the Better Bankside BID area, or areas of Southwark that are affected by significant levels of deprivation - please see our map of deprviation areas on our website.

In this session we will be hearing from them to find out:

What sort of projects costs they are looking to support
Who they want to hear from
How you can apply
How you can maximise your chance of success

You will also have a chance to ask your questions, and network with other organisations.

If you are unable to attend, but have a question you would like to ask, please let us know at info@communitysouthwark.org.

There's lots more information about this funder available on their website.
