Culture and Community Grants programme

Funding for local cultural and community led projects.

What we can and cannot fund

We will support:

  • project delivery activities
  • activities that take place between 1 June 2024 and February 2025
  • staff costs for administration, management, planning and delivery of the project
  • insurance and DBS certificate costs
  • venue hire
  • licensing, event notices and road closure costs
  • costs to make the activity more accessible to participants

We cannot support:

  • projects that don't align with any criteria
  • projects that are not primarily focussed on delivering arts and culture activities
  • projects that take place outside of Westminster
  • projects that are being support with other Westminster City Council funds
  • staff travel expenses and parking costs
  • previously funded equipment, that has not deteriorated beyond use
  • purchase of equipment, unless specifically used and retained by the beneficiaries
  • activities that promote discriminatory or extremist views
  • regular core running costs, loan repayments or VAT
  • payments to suppliers on behalf of the grantee
  • 'business as usual’ activities, such as normal maintenance or repairs, or projects that already have funding to continue
