Local Funding

Grants for community projects or events

If you're interested in organising a local project, activity or event to benefit your local area, you may be able to access grant funding from Sutton Council.

It can be used to deliver a project, activity or event.

Who can apply

  • voluntary organisations
  • local charities
  • community groups 

For more information, view the local funding guidance: Community events, activities and projects.

When to apply

The applications will open in the Spring. 

The application window will open on the 7th April - 2nd May 2025.

Outside of this time period, the form is closed to responses.

Apply for a grant

We can't provide funding later than this or after your event has taken place.

An application does not guarantee funding as there is limited funding each year. Applications are then voted on by local councillors.

If you have any questions, or would like assistance with completing the application form,  email: community_engagement_team@sutton.gov.uk.

Funding to improve public spaces (Public Realm)

The Public Realm programme provides funding for small-scale projects which improve public spaces in Sutton. These are for smaller projects such as trees, signs, seating and murals.

Get in touch

To make a public realm application or discuss a potential project please contact publicrealm@sutton.gov.uk.

Other Funding To Improve Public Spaces 

The Neighbourhood Fund is for larger projects which help to address the extra demands that development (e.g. more housing) can place on local areas.
