Now more than ever, London needs new ideas, creators, doers and makers to help our city recover and grow stronger. Make London is looking for community-led ideas that help London recover from the COVID-19 crisis. We want to support creative, locally-led proposals which: - Bring People Together; - Improve Public Spaces; - Support Community Hubs & High Streets Make London is designed to support community-led projects and smaller organisations who have not received much public funding before. There are two tiers of funding: - Tier 1: Up to £5,000 for small projects that start something new or grow an existing idea - Tier 2: Up to £50,000 to support larger test projects for the city. At this tier, you’ll need to crowdfund some of your project costs

How to get involved?

Make London is partnering with Spacehive, a civic crowdfunding website, which makes it easy to share your project idea online and then begin a crowdfunding campaign to collect donations of cash and skills, and to show evidence that local people support your project.

The deadline to get involved in Make London is the 28th of January 2021. By this date you need to have created your project page on Spacehive, pitched to the Make London fund (this involves answering some specific questions about your project and organisation) and have all your project costs, quotes and permissions in place.
