The Building Bridges Fund
Our Building Bridges Fund for the current round is set to support two key charity partners over three years to develop their long-term financial sustainability and directly engage with our diverse business community.
After an extensive application and screening process, we are delighted to appoint Bankside Open Spaces Trust and Disability Sports Coach as our two charity partners until June 2025.
In addition to the grant funding to develop their projects, engage with stakeholders and invest in core infrastructure costs, the partnership also involves ongoing communication with Team London Bridge and direct support via promotional activities such as marketing and partner events. And more importantly, thinking creatively in order to find ways for both the charities and the business community in London Bridge to benefit.
Below you can find out about their work and also about ways in which London Bridge businesses and professionals can get involved.
Applications are now CLOSED, due to re-open in 2025.
