Thamesmead Community Fund 

The Thamesmead Community Fund is opening from Tuesday 11 November to Monday 15 December.

Thamesmead Community Fund awards grants of up to £3,000 to individuals and organisations who want to deliver cultural or community projects that benefit Thamesmead’s residents. 

We accept applications for projects taking place in publicly accessible venues and on Peabody land, providing these are safe to access and all relevant health and safety documents have been submitted.

If you're interested in applying but want to find out more, join our online Q&A on Tuesday 18 November at 6pm to ask questions. To attend, please use the link here. 

In 2024, for the first time, the Making Space for Nature Fund formed part of the Thamesmead Community Fund – providing funding to individuals and groups who want to transform Thamesmead’s green spaces and help people engage with nature. The Connecting Thamesmead programme, which aims to bring people together to improve health and wellbeing, also joined the fund. 

Applications to the Thamesmead Community Fund close on Monday 15 December at 12pm. 

Final decisions will be released Friday 20 February 2026.

If you have any questions about the fund, please email: communitygrants@peabody.org.uk.

The Thamesmead Community Fund is run by Peabody, the London Community Foundation, and an advisory group of local residents and stakeholders. The money for the fund comes from the fees that Peabody earns through location filming in Thamesmead and from the Peabody Community Foundation.
