Windrush Day Grant Scheme 2023

Applications for the 2023 Windrush Day Grant Scheme are now open.

Community groups and charities in England will be able to bid for a share of £750,000 of government funding to celebrate National Windrush Day on 22 June 2023 and the 75th anniversary of the arrival of the Windrush community in their local areas.

Each area can bid for up to £50,000 to fund celebratory parades, educational resources, arts and sporting projects, provided that they are focused on the contribution of the Windrush generation and their descendants.

Applications must be completed using the form linked below by midday on 22 February. DLUHC will announce the winning projects later this year.

Near Neighbours, a charity that brings people together in communities that are religiously and ethnically diverse, are administering this year's grant scheme on DLUHC's behalf.

Near Neighbours is holding a number workshops in January and February where they will give an overview of the scheme and an opportunity for bidders to ask questions. You can register to attend one of the workshops using the link below.
