We are delighted to manage the Peabody Community Fund.
The fund was founded in 2014 and exists to support projects and activities designed to improve the quality of life of Peabody residents and the wider community.
To apply to this fund, please take a look at the fund guidelines and application form guidance by clicking on the buttons below or at the top right hand side of the screen and then clicking on the relevant* ‘Apply now’ button.
Eligibility
The fund awards 1 or 2-year grants and is able to support charities and community organisations providing ongoing/regular activities benefitting residents of all ages.
Priority will be given to:
- Organisations/projects addressing the needs of the most disadvantaged members of the community

If an applicant organisation is not resident-led, they will need to demonstrate strong connections with local residents, strong partnership working in the locality, a commitment to the locality after the proposed project is complete, and a clear understanding of community needs
- Youth-led projects up to the age of 24
- There will also be restricted funds for projects supporting Peabody residents living in Waltham Forest
- The 8 priority boroughs for 2022/23 are: Barnet, Hammersmith & Fulham, Haringey, Kensington & Chelsea, Lewisham, Newham, Wandsworth and Westminster
Note: Activities must demonstrate the beneficiaries will primarily be Peabody residents. To find out where Peabody estates are near you, please refer to the Peabody website.
