YOUR voluntary and community sector

Over the next four years, voluntary and community organisations across Royal Greenwich will receive £3.655 million in council funding.

The 67 Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) grants were decided through a robust application and assessment process and were formally agreed by the Council’s Cabinet on 25 January.

Councillor Adel Khaireh, Cabinet Member for Equality, Culture and Communities, said: “Our borough’s voluntary and community sector plays an essential role in supporting the most in need throughout our diverse communities including inequality, poverty, homelessness, loneliness, domestic abuse, mental health issues and much more.”

All the successful organisations have pledged to sign the Royal Greenwich Equality and Equity Charter, a commitment to champion equality across the borough.

The voluntary and community sector grants process will open again in 2027. The Council
