Small Grants

Knowle West Alliance offers Small Grants to Knowle West-based residents, community groups, organisations or schools for projects that benefit the local community. Since 2019, our Small Grants programme has gone from strength to strength!  It’s hard to believe that in that time we’ve awarded over 80 Small Grants to nearly 60 individuals, groups and organisations based in Knowle West to support local community projects. 

Autumn 2025: we have a new process and a batch of small grants, plus a larger community arts grant. Read the blog or look at our small grants information page here.

We’ve also been part of the process which offered larger grants for Safer Friendlier Neighbourhoods and to support local High Streets.

Please check back or follow our Facebook page for up-to-date information current available grants.

Our Grants Panel (made up of local residents and workers) decide which projects are funded. 

Do you have an idea that can make a difference to our area? Our Small Grants are available to local individuals, groups, organisations, schools and businesses who want to make Knowle West:
