You know what your community needs. We will help you build it.
Community Impact grants fund individuals and groups tackling local social and environmental challenges across England. No experience required. Just a real problem and the drive to solve it.
Real problems, real solutions
This is a grant programme for people who have identified a genuine local need. No eligibility barriers. Just clarity about what needs fixing in your community.

Why this matters more than you think
The biggest changes start at the most local level. A community garden that feeds twenty families. A youth programme that keeps ten teenagers off the streets. A rainwater harvesting system that cuts a centre's water bill in half. These are not small things.
A garden that feeds families in your neighbourhood
A programme that changes the trajectory of young people
A system that cuts costs and builds resilience
Community Impact is not a consolation prize
It is a pipeline. The strongest community projects are invited into the Global Impact Programme. Their founders become programme alumni. Their work gets deployed internationally. Local impact becomes global infrastructure.
