Grants of up to £10,000 are available for community activities to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Windrush from The National Lottery Community Fund, the largest funder of community activity in the UK.
This historic anniversary is an important moment for communities to celebrate, commemorate and reflect upon the huge contribution that Windrush pioneers and their families have made in London.
To support community groups wanting to apply, The National Lottery Community Fund is running four free workshops. Sign-up to take part here www.ticketsource.co.uk/the-national-lottery-community-fund.

This funding will be available throughout the year, but for communities wishing to apply for a grant specifically for Windrush Day (Thursday 22nd June) itself, then applications will need to be submitted by Thursday 30th March.
