Community funding

Homes for people we need

Published On: 3rd October 2026

The Government has announced the next wave of the Common Ground Award for community organisations across England which provides up to £2.5m for projects, groups and organisations bringing people together, transforming their community and strengthening relationships in their area by creating and developing welcome local spaces.

Projects will receive cash to improve the spaces and equipment people rely on to meet, mix and feel part of their community.

Here is the link to apply for the Common Ground Award for 2026-27.
