Hear from previous successful applicants and what they did in their communuity
Here are some examples of the groups we’ve helped to give you inspiration for your own City Living, Local Life applications.
Marlborough Primary School Mural
We helped Marlborough Primary School work with a local artist on a mural that contained the work of children, parents and the staff, to send a powerful message of community. The work was inspired by the children of the school, and features hundreds of mosaic pieces.
St John the Baptist Church
The City Living, Local Life grant helped St John the Baptist Church put on artistic and creative events throughout the year, including concerts, recitals and art exhibitions for the local community. The church also takes part in a number of community events, made possible by the grant.
The Community Cook Off
The grant helped contribute to the Community Cook Off, an event where residents come together to share delicious food and compete to be the best chefs in the area. The event helps residents from different backgrounds meet and to form bonds that have led to long lasting friendships across North Kensington.
