Applications to the 2023 Community Fund will open on Monday 3rd April.

The Fund aims to support the local community in and around the Earls Court site, in the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea and the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham. It will focus on offering grants to charities and community organisations, to deliver projects and to ensure local groups can continue to provide longer term support for the community.

The total value of the Earls Court Community Fund is £180,000 per year. Organisations can apply for a grant of up to £15,000 for projects taking place for up to 12-months to deliver community activities supporting local residents to engage with their neighbours and build community connections, improve their health and wellbeing or to support young people’s personal development, education and training.

The Earls Court Development Company team recognises that many residents and voluntary groups are facing additional pressures due to the cost-of-living increases. This Fund aims to support essential and meaningful projects and organisations that benefit the communities in and around Earls Court.
