For a seventh year, Lambeth Wellbeing Fund invites local organisations with projects that help people manage their health, avoid a crisis, or bring communities together for funding.
Who can apply?
Lambeth-based registered charities, Community Interest Companies (CICs) limited by guarantee, Charitable Incorporated Organisations (CIOs), Companies Ltd by Guarantee (without shares), constituted community groups and TRAs with an income under £100,000 per year are welcome. The income threshold does not apply to nurture organisations.
You don’t have to be part of an organisation to apply – the Fund supports individual Lambeth residents or groups of residents. You can apply with the support of a local organisation you already have a relationship with who can hold the funding for you and act as a ‘nurture organisation’. Please see the fund guidelines for details.
Grant size
Grants from £1,000 to £5,000 per year are available for projects lasting up to 12 months. A total of £60,000 is available from Project Smith and Public Health for projects which:

Funded projects must support participants to:

- Be able to have the right things in place to help them to avoid a crisis, or limit the impact of crisis, particularly for people who are living independently.
- Feel part of a community.
In addition, we know loneliness and isolation can contribute to poor physical and mental health, while people with good social connections are better able to deal with health problems that arise.
