sng.org.ukAbout Sovereign Housing Association Limited
Sovereign Housing Association runs the Thriving Communities Fund, a grant programme that invests in community groups working in SNG neighbourhoods across southern England. Their mission is to support local projects that benefit SNG customers, complement existing services, and address unmet needs through collaboration and partnership. The fund prioritises diverse, marginalised, unrepresented or vulnerable groups, with a strong focus on youth and ageing well.
What Sovereign Housing Association Limited funds
The Thriving Communities Fund has two thematic strands. The Skills and Learning grant supports education, skills development, and poverty reduction. The Strengthening Place grant covers children and youth, older people, mental and physical health, environment, community development, and criminal justice. Grants are for projects that operate in defined SNG communities across London, the South East, South West, and East of England, with priority given to groups in SNG neighbourhoods that directly benefit customers.
Who can apply
Registered charities, charitable incorporated organisations, community interest companies limited by guarantee, community benefit societies, community groups, and not-for-profit social enterprises are eligible. Priority is given to groups operating in SNG communities that demonstrate a clear understanding of local provision, complement existing services, address gaps, work in partnership, and support diverse, marginalised, or vulnerable groups. Faith groups and individuals are not eligible.
How they like to fund
The fund offers one-off grants to support project costs. Unsolicited applications are accepted. The fund operates two distinct grant streams, Skills and Learning and Strengthening Place, each with its own thematic focus.
