Big Local SW11 Online Application

We have written a Guide to the Grant to the Grant Assessment Process to help you.
You can read it on the Grant page or download the Grant Assessment Process Word document here.

Terms and Conditions:

Applications will only be considered for individuals, community organisations or businesses that are in or serve the BLSW11 geographical area. (See map here)

Priority will be given to projects that most match the BLSW11 vision and values (see advertising poster or go to our web site).

Individuals/organisations that have previously applied for BLSW11 grants are welcome to apply again, but projects previously awarded but not completed will not be considered.

Each successful project will be required to sign a grant acceptance form, and submit a monitoring and evaluation report (template provided by BLSW11). The information from these may be used on our website and in other media.

If required each project will be responsible for insurance cover and compliance with statutory provisions (Safeguarding, Child Protection, DBS, etc)

BLSW11 will accept no liability for any damages or costs incurred by or for your project.

Funding may include volunteer and staff costs, but should not be used for:

Activities volunteers or staff undertake as part of their normal employment
