Getting Through This Together is a new campaign which has been developed by Thrive LDN in response to the increased cost-of-living pressures.

The campaign aims to encourage Londoners to strengthen their social networks with family members and friends, and trusted others in their community - which we know is going to be a significant factor in supporting people during this period. As well as highlighting the professional support and advice services which are available.

These mental health awareness training sessions form part of the campaign's range of tools and resources to protect and enhance people's mental wellbeing, so that they can adapt and thrive after their lives have been disrupted by current shocks.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
PLEASE NOTE The Trust only provides grants for activities/purposes within its Area of Benefit within the London Borough of Newham -see map - or which directly benefit the communities within that area

The Trust will not respond to general appeals for funds

The Trust will not normally enter into correspondence in respect of unsolicited appeals for funds

The Trust cannot accept applications from individuals

Apart from Minor Grants which are restricted to the trust's area of benefit the Trust will not normally consider/provide grants outside of the annual grants programme

As part of the arrangements for its winding up the London Docklands Development Corporation (LDDC) agreed with the London Borough of Newham (LBN) to deposit with the Trust, by way of a permanent endowment, a capital sum of £2.7m to safeguard into the future the Corporation's community grants programme for that part of the former Urban Development Area which lies within the Borough. This programme, originally operated jointly with the LBN, has proved a useful benefit in sustaining the community and voluntary sector groups which contribute so much to the regeneration of the area. From the inception of the grants programme the LBN contributed at least 25% of all grants made. However they withdrew with effect from 1st April 2015, since when the Trust has continued to provide an annual grants programme funded entirely from its own resources

The LDDC's Endowment

The endowment agreement sets out a number of rules and guidelines for the operation of the programme:

The area of benefit of the programme is the same as the Trust's area of operation, i.e. the whole of that area of Newham to the south of the A13

The making of grants to individuals is prohibited

Projects (as distinct from individual organisations) cannot be funded for more than 3 years

The Trust determines annually the amount to be made available to the grants programme

The Trust determines annually the priorities and criteria for the programme

The amount made available by the Trust each year depends, of course, on the performance of its investments

The Trust's constitutional objectives are broadly drawn and allow the Trust to fund a diverse range of activities. Within this broad framework the Trust each year approves detailed criteria and priorities for the annual programme.

The Royal Docks Trust invites voluntary and community organisations, which serve the Docklands area of L B Newham (south of the A13 Newham Way) to apply for funding for the period 1 April 2023 - 31 March 2024. The closing date for applications is 5 p.m. on Tuesday 31 January 2023. An information and application pack can be downloaded here

Main Grant Approvals for the Previous Five Years

A list of the main programme grants approved by the Trust over the last five years is available here.

Grants £5,000-£10,000

The trust has established a new grants programme for 2023 - 2024. Medium Grants - one off grant funding for projects / organisations seeking funding in the range of £5,000 to £10,000. In inviting applications for this funding the trust will welcome applications that:

Will take place in or be aimed at parts of the Trust's area of operation currently underserved by organisations or projects already supported by RDT funding;

They relate to short term projects or schemes with a spending profile which does not extend beyond six months from the date of payment of the grant or of its first instalment;

Grants that are to fund a trial or pilot project or scheme with a view to enabling a meaningful evaluation to be undertaken of its worth before proceeding further to be potentially funded by the Trust or another funder;

Grants that would encourage individuals or groups who are not currently involved to engage in community activities or services;

Grants that would have a beneficial effect in addressing matters such as loneliness, mobility or mental health;

Projects where the primary purpose does not relate to the purchase of equipment though part of the grant may be used for equipment

Applications should not relate to ongoing projects or schemes where the achievement of their purposes would be dependent on funding from other sources currently unsecured;

Applications should not relate to projects already approved for RDT funding under the Trust's Main Grants Programme;

Applications to this programme should clearly show a capability to address one or more of the purposes outlined above. The amount of funding available for any one project will not exceed £10,000.

The maximum grant allowed is £2,000 but grants given for social events will not exceed £500 for any one event

Assist new projects to establish themselves e.g. the hiring of meeting venues, provision of stationery, meeting the cost of charitable registration etc.

Provide an opportunity for the Trust to demonstrate its purpose and promote its activities, so you will need to ensure that the grant is acknowledged, appropriately

From 2023, NCS will be awarding two different types of grants to local organisations delivering community-based experiences at a grassroots level, for the first time.

Open to All Grants: These year-round grants are for regularly scheduled programmes that are embedded in young people’s local communities, with structure and support from NCS Trust, but locally tailored by you, the grantee. We will offer grants to deliver Open to All programmes across regions and the grant amount will be based on the number of young people between the defined age range in those regions.

Targeted Grants: These grants may be given for scaling your existing intervention, or trialling a new innovation, with targeted groups of young people. We will offer a variety of larger and smaller grants, creating opportunities for national or regional organisations, alongside small grassroots organisations.

Make a positive impact for young people in your community...

NCS offers a range of personal, social, and professional development services focused on young people in England, supporting their transition to adulthood. We exist to ensure that young people become world-ready and work-ready, and are at the heart of a more cohesive society, bridging social divides. Our vision remains relevant and resonant: A country of connected, confident, and caring citizens where everyone feels at home.

From 2023, NCS will be awarding grants to local organisations delivering community-based experiences at a grassroots level, for the first time.

Supported by the National Youth Agency and Street Games, the grants will reflect our commitment to providing young people with the skills to live independently, progress into employment and bring about positive social change in their communities.

We are inviting youth organisations who may be interested in applying for a grant to attend an online Market Engagement event on Tuesday 6 or Wednesday 7 December 2022, with further in person events in January 2023. The events will cover our grant criteria, the application process, and share more information about our two types of grant funding; Open to All and Targeted Grants.
