Loved and Wanted Here

Loved and Wanted Here

No matter where you are in London, find a Community Space where you are welcomed, supported, loved and wanted.

About the funders

The £1.8 million Loved and Wanted Fund, supported by the Mayor of London and the National Lottery Community Fund, helps organisations run activities that bring communities together.

The fund focuses on helping Londoners from different backgrounds meet, connect and take part in local communities and the city’s life. Strong communities grow when people have places where they feel welcome and able to join in. This also means removing the barriers that stop some Londoners from taking part. 

Many voluntary, community and faith groups already bring people together and support their neighbourhoods. This programme helps them work more closely with each other and the wider public and private sector to strengthen social connection. 

Our aim is to build a London‑wide network of community spaces that share the values of the Mayor's Loved and Wanted campaign. These spaces will act as welcoming hubs for all Londoners, offering safe and supportive places to meet.
