Funding to Tackle Violent Extremism (London)

Charities and other organisations in London can apply for grants to support projects that challenge racism, intolerance, hate, extremism, and terrorism across the Capital.  

Grants of up to £100,000 are available, with three tiers of funding depending on the scope of the project.  

To be eligible for funding, the proposed project must address at least one of the four priority themes, which are:

  • Awareness raising: Increase Londoners’ awareness of the existence and impact of, as well as counter-narratives to, intolerance, hate, extremism and/or terrorism.
  • Building psychosocial resilience: Strengthen psychosocial factors that promote resilience to radicalisation and extremist recruitment among vulnerable individuals and groups.
  • Promote prosocial behaviours: Empower Londoners to safely and effectively challenge intolerant, hateful and extremist attitudes and behaviours.
  • Strengthen prevention capability: Support frontline practitioners in education, social services, civil society and communities to prevent and counter intolerance, hate, extremism and radicalisation in local schools and communities.
  •  

The funding is being made available through the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime's Shared Endeavour Fund, which is being managed by Groundwork London.  

The application deadline is midnight on the 5th May 2024.
