Community Links Bromley provides support to not-for-profit organisations in applying for funding and submitting bids. We deliver regular workshops and training on topics including writing bids and applying for specific funding opportunities. We promote the latest funding opportunites and funding-related training available to the voluntary sector, primarily through our website and our weekly e-bulletin.
Follow the links on the right to view funding opportunities and subscribe to our e-bulletin.
If you'd like to apply for any of the funding opportunities in our e-bulletins and/or on our website, we are happy to provide support in the development of your funding applications. Additionally, we now have access to a searchable database of a wide selection of grants and funding schemes. If you have a specific need around a theme, we can run that search for you and send you the results. Alternatively, you can book some time with us and undertake your own search under supervision. Please contact our Funding & Development Officer, Stephen Smith at fdo@communitylinksbromley.org.uk.
Bromley Council & NHS South East London ICB Innovation Fund
The Innovation Fund is a funding programme financed by Bromley Council and NHS SE London (ICB). The Innovation Fund is a commitment to transformation, learning and progress. Commissioners are looking for new and creative ideas, with innovative projects to support prevention and early intervention. Applications of up to £50,000 p.a will be accepted
It is not a fund to support everyday business as usual, existing projects funded by the Council / NHS, or duplicating existing provision.
Project priorities should be aligned to the Bromley Corporate Strategy, and the Adult Care & Health Portfolio Plan.
Key priorities will be detailed on the opening of each funding round. Quarterly bidding rounds will be advertised in advance and normally opened in March, June, September, & December.
Please note, when bidding rounds open, applications will need to be completed online
