July 18, 2025 - September 21, 2025

Apply for Funding with People Powered Places  

This is your opportunity to transform your community idea into reality. 

  • Voluntary Community and Faith Sector organisations can apply for up to £20,000 
  • Youth-led projects can apply for up to £10,000 
  • Resident-led projects can apply for up to £5,000 

Update for Youth-led applications

Youth-led projects must be delivered with a partner organisation. Partner organisations can apply for funding under VCFS grant, as well as supporting up to two youth-led projects.

Youth-led projects mean that children and young people aged 10 to 22 make critical decisions about the project, especially the project idea, aims and purpose. This can involve designing and managing the project, being part of budgeting decisions, delivering activities and monitoring and evaluation.

All projects must be separate and distinct, with their own application forms, aims and delivery plan.

To accommodate these changes, we have extended the deadline for youth-led applications to the 21 September.

Your project idea must align with local priorities chosen by 441 of your neighbours, which are: 

  • Health & Wellbeing
  • Community Safety
  • Community Development & Participation

How to apply 

  • Complete the online form here 
  • Video or audio applications – please read the Guidance Information on how to do this 
  • Paper applications – available on request via your Community Neighbourhood Team. 

Gain Support with your application 

We are here to support you with your applications, developing your project idea and costing your project.

What happens next 

Once you have submitted your application, please add your idea to Newham Co-Create here or clicking on 'Add a project' button on the top right hand side of the page. This is essential for residents to vote for your project in November.  

Your application will be reviewed by the Community Neighbourhood Team. They will be in touch if there is any missing information. 

Your application will be scored anonymously by Working Group members, as well as undergo a feasibility assessment by Council colleagues to ensure your project is viable.
