Are you fighting poverty in London? The Evening Standard is helping communities across London by distributing an amazing £1 million in small grants. It is available for charities who are working to tackle the causes of the grinding poverty behind London's Dispossessed. Not-for-profit voluntary and community groups are invited to apply for grants of between £250 and £5000.
You must prove you are working to lift people out of poverty in one of the following areas:
Training and educating people who have dropped out of mainstream education
Getting people into work such as through apprenticeship or mentor schemes
Fighting gangs, knife and gun crime
Improving mental and physical health and well-being, such as through sports clubs and helping carers
Addressing other manifestations of poverty such as homelessness, pensioner poverty or the working poor
