🙌 The Culture Mile BID is looking for applications for the 2026/27 funding programme. Funding is available for up to £6,500 per project and enquiries are welcomed – please contact sarah@culturemilebid.co.uk for an informal chat.

🤝 Through this round of the Community Fund, we seek to continue supporting a breadth of local projects that drive positive social impact in our community. The fund will provide grants to Community Groups, Registered Charities and Social Enterprises for projects and schemes that will bring positive benefits to the community within the Culture Mile BID footprint.

⚪ Building on the success of previous rounds, the Culture Mile Community Fund continues to champion grassroots organisations delivering meaningful change across the district. From creative programmes and skills initiatives to wellbeing support and community led events, the fund is designed to empower those who know the area best to respond to local needs with ambition and innovation.

In 2026/27, we are particularly keen to hear from projects that foster inclusion, strengthen neighbourhood connections and create lasting impact within the Culture Mile BID footprint. Whether you are an established charity or an emerging community group with a strong idea.
