Hammersmith United Charities

The Trust's Community Grants programme supports voluntary and community groups, community centres, and schools serving specific wards in Hammersmith. Funding covers core costs, project delivery, equipment, training, events, salaries, and research. The Trust prioritises work that tackles inequality, social isolation, mental health, education, employability, youth initiatives, and community cohesion. Beneficiaries include children, young people, older people, women, disabled people, carers, refugees, homeless people, and unemployed individuals.

The Trust supports voluntary and community groups, community centres, and schools that are based in or serve residents of the Hammersmith area. It prioritises organisations with strong local roots and a clear focus on people experiencing need. Beneficiaries should be among the priority groups listed above. There is no restriction on religious affiliation, but the Trust does not fund organisations that promote religion or a specific political cause.

The Trust does not fund activities that promote religion or a specific political cause, work primarily benefiting animals or the environment over people, or projects that help people not experiencing need. It also does not support organisations that only help people outside the area of benefit.

The Trust offers flexible funding covering both core costs and project costs. Grants are typically made for one year initially, with the possibility of repeat funding for further years. The Trust welcomes unsolicited applications.
