Loved and Wanted Fund
The Loved and Wanted Community Programme is a new initiative from the Mayor of London to promote social cohesion across the capital. It recognises that every Londoner has a role to play in building a city where all people feel valued, welcome, loved and wanted – no matter who they are or where they’re from.
As part of the programme, we are offering funding to organisations through the Loved and Wanted Fund. Applications are open to support voluntary, community, faith and cultural organisations that work to bring different communities together and reduce barriers to participation in community life.
We will soon be hosting webinars and have published guidance for prospective applicants. To learn more, visit Loved and Wanted Fund.
