Greater London Volunteering, through Londonplus and its partnerships, funds practical infrastructure and capacity-building for London’s voluntary, community and social enterprise sector rather than traditional project delivery. Its current grants are narrowly focused on emergency preparedness and community resilience, especially helping charities, faith groups, and community spaces prepare for and respond to acute local risks like emergencies and extreme heat. The funder appears to prefer collaborative, place-based initiatives with strong partnership links to London resilience systems and community networks.
Small, fixed-value project grants with a practical capacity-building emphasis; funding is tied to specific programmes, usually delivered via expressions of interest rather than open-ended applications. Awards are relatively modest, appear to support training/tools/coordination, and are currently invite-only or no-unsolicited-proposals.
Monitor programme deadlines closely and apply through the expression-of-interest process rather than unsolicited proposals. Eligibility is London-based and centered on charities, community, faith, and place-based organizations that can strengthen emergency or heat-response capability; proposals should clearly show partnership working, local reach, and practical readiness outcomes.
