The Community Engagement Fund (CEF) is a £150,000 grant fund to support grassroots and community organisations to engage communities and raise awareness of priority Home Office policy areas and the support available. The priority area identified for financial year 2026-27 continues to focus on supporting communities from the Windrush generation.
This fund is best suited to support short and easy-to-deliver projects, rather than a programme of work, as all allocated funds needs to be spent within the financial year over.
Grants are available for grassroots and community groups to engage communities and raise awareness of and address any misinformation about the Windrush Compensation and Windrush Schemes, with a focus on continuing to support Windrush generation communities, from both Caribbean and non-Caribbean backgrounds within the UK.
For information on eligibility, visit the UK Government website.
Grants of £100 are available for organisers of a 'Great Get Together' event, an annual celebration of everything that connects our communities.
Grants of £10,000 per year for VCSE organisations to run ‘blue and green’ nature-based activities for adults in Wakefield District.
Grants are available for organisations working with young people from under-represented communities in Yorkshire and the Humber to deliver projects and activities that use the power of storytelling and language.
