Community Chest

The Urban Partnership Group (UPG), a local regeneration agency, runs a small grants fund for community and voluntary groups in Hammersmith & Fulham called Community Chest.

Community Chest grants, worth up to £5000, are given to groups to help them pay for activities and projects that enhance the lives of local people. 

Each group must submit an application form to the UPG, and a panel made up of a majority of local residents will then decide how to award the grants. 

To see if your group is eligible for funding, and to download an application form, visit www.urbanpartnershipgroup.co.uk and click on ‘Services’ – ‘Community Chest’. For more information call the UPG on 020 8746 2120 or visit them at the Opportunities Centre, 370-376 Uxbridge Road, Shepherds Bush. 

Community Chest is supported by Regenasis, the borough regeneration agency.

The council also hosts a website called Open 4 Funding which details all the funding schemes available to groups and individuals in the UK. Go to www.open4funding.co.uk
