London Bridge-based businesses range from global professional services to start-up creative agencies, but one thing they all have in common is a commitment to connecting with and investing in the local community.

Coordinated by Team London Bridge, local businesses have invested close to £1 million in charities and community group projects over the past 19 years. We are now pleased to announce the launch of our new grant round, with a revised two-stage application process designed to be clearer and more proportionate for applicants.

How to Apply

All applicants must first complete an Expression of Interest (EOI) form by 9th February:

  • Online application: Complete the EOI by clicking this link.
  • Word document option: If you require a Word version of the form for accessibility reasons, please email deborah@teamlondonbridge.co.uk to request one.

Only eligible organisations will be invited to progress to the second stage and submit a full application. Applicants invited to submit a full application will also be invited to attend an information session. Further details, including joining information, will be shared with invited applicants.

Full application deadline is 6th March with funding decisions announced on 3rd April.

Applicants are encouraged to read the application guidance carefully before submitting an Expression of Interest.

Funding Details

Building Communities Fund grants range between £500 and £3,000 and are available for projects taking place in the second part of the financial year, October 2025 – March 2026. Funded projects must align with Team London Bridge’s aim of supporting sustainable and thriving community places, focusing on at least one of the following priority areas:

  • Creativity, arts & physical wellbeing
  • Nature & sustainability
  • Employment, learning & upskilling

The fund is financed by the Team London Bridge BID levy, meaning the entire business community contributes to supporting local projects.
