Community Initiatives
Councils are currently discussing and approving grants for local community projects and events.
In September 2026, the Surbiton Neighbourhood Committee approved £12,821.69 in grants for Christmas events and various community projects in Kingston upon Thames. The committee considered applications for Neighbourhood Community Grants (NCGs) and Councillor Ward Funding (CWF), requiring applicants to meet minimum standards such as having a written constitution.
Community initiatives, which are projects and activities aimed at improving and supporting local communities, were also on the agenda for the Sutton South, Cheam and Belmont Local Committee in June 2026. This meeting was scheduled to discuss local funding opportunities, public questions, and an update on the Neighbourhood Fund.
