Croydon Common Ground Resilience Fund

We have been awarded £25k from the Government’s Common Ground Resilience Fund (CGRF) to allocate to our voluntary sector.

The funds must be awarded by end of March 2026, and we have the flexibility to spend them on any eligible activities within the scope of the fund.

We will be offering 5 grants of up to £4,500 for activities on and around Holocaust Memorial Day in January that meet one or both of the following :

  • Reduce divisions and build resilience in places facing cohesion challenges and heightened risk of community tensions.
  • Support local people and organisations to build ‘bridging social capital’ in their communities, by investing in shared spaces and activities which bring people from different backgrounds together.


More information on the Holocaust Memorial Day 2026 theme of Bridging Generations is available at Holocaust Memorial Day Trust | Bridging Generations: Theme for 2026
