We’re thrilled to announce our support for local projects in 2025 through our Community Grant Scheme. We received a fantastic number of applications, and we’re excited to be providing funding for 15 projects that are set to benefit our community.

The range of projects we’re supporting are varied, including music, signing, health and wellbeing, community gardens and one-off cultural events.
It was a tough decision with so many incredible applications, and we want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who applied. It’s clear there’s so much great work happening in our community.

Here are the list of projects we're funding and we will provide more information when the projects begin to launch. If you have any questions about the project or require any further detail, please contact info@norwoodforum.org
