The Community Fund supports projects and activities helping people thrive in their homes by improving the quality of life of Riverside customers and the wider communities in which they live. With the help of the Riverside Foundation, we’ve made £280,000 available through our Community Fund to help fund projects that promote opportunities and wellbeing and tackle poverty in our communities.

Last year we supported 85 different projects across Riverside neighbourhoods and we’d love to help even more this year. So, if you’ve got an idea that could make a difference, we want to hear from you!

We welcome applications from charities, not-for-profit organisations, clubs, constituted groups and informal groups. We particularly welcome applications from grassroots organisations with a local presence in Riverside neighbourhoods. Applications from organisations that serve a wider area will be considered providing that there is evidence of an established local presence. Any application made for funding must demonstrate that at least 50% of all beneficiaries are Riverside residents.

If you are unsure about whether your organisation is eligible to apply, please contact a member of the team to discuss before applying.

All applications must meet one or more of The Riverside Foundation’s themes:

• Opportunity
• Community
• Support

For further information and a self-eligibility checklist, please read through the guidance notes, or contact a member of the team.

If you live on the Isle of Dogs you may also be eligible to apply for the Community Chest Programme, see details here.
