The Sutton Community Fund is a grant funding programme financed by Sutton Council and administered by Community Action Sutton. Each application is assessed and grants are awarded by an independent panel.
Do you have an idea for a small and community focused project that would benefit Sutton residents and meet local priorities?
Your group could apply for up to £5000!
Need to know...
- Applications for grants from £500 to a maximum of £5,000 will be accepted.

- The funding is for a maximum of 12 months unless it is a multi-year bid and then it is 3 years with a grant of up to a maximum of £10,000
This year the independent panel are focusing on the following key areas:
- Cost of living - the project helps people to deal with the rising cost of living, particularly groups or communities who are more likely to be affected.
- An inclusive place for everyone - the project promotes equality, diversity and inclusion; this could be through delivering support for specific groups to reduce disadvantages, or taking actions to bring diverse communities together to make positive change or solve a problem.
- Action on climate change - the project promotes or delivers positive actions to reduce carbon emissions in Sutton and encourages people to adopt more sustainable behaviours (e.g. cycling, walking, recycling, reuse etc.).
Aviva and mixed-use developer, Socius are leading the development of the world’s leading district for cancer research and treatment at the London Cancer Hub in Sutton, London.
The proposals include new research facilities and on-site amenities, with the vision of creating a nurturing environment for collaboration, connectivity, and innovation.
As part of the ambitions of the London Cancer Hub, the team wants to think local, be sustainable and make a genuinely positive impact. Key to this commitment is supporting organisations, charities and groups locally.
The team is committing £14,000 towards the Sutton Community Fund to help deliver change within local communities. This will be allocated through the Community Fund Panel and will help deliver social, environmental and economic benefits to Sutton.
