What kind of projects can be funded?

Your idea should help make Southall cleaner and more pleasant. We’re looking for the best projects that:

  • develop and promote ‘pride in place’ – helping us all be proud of a clean and pleasant Southall.
  • inform, educate and motivate residents and businesses to keep Southall clean and inspire long lasting behaviour change
  • encourage businesses to comply with waste management responsibilities
  • address the underlying reasons that increase fly tipping and waste challenges in Southall.

Your approach could be focused on education and helping people to understand how to better handle waste, it could be a community clean up on a specific street, it could be a way to reuse waste that is put on the streets, or it could be a bigger bolder solution to address the reasons that increase fly tipping in Southall.

How much funding is available?

Southall has up to £120,000 available for grants.

We have three pots of funding:

  • Smaller grants of up to £1,000. These are intended to support visible community action
  • Medium grants up to £5,000. For all kinds of projects.
  • Larger grants of up to £80,000. Larger Grants will be very limited and will only be awarded for exceptional projects, which can show strong, visible and lasting impact on the priorities.

Projects must use the funding by the end of September 2026.

What can’t be funded?

We want to support a wide range of ideas, but funding cannot be used for:

  • projects that are not directly linked to making Southall more clean and pleasant
  • projects which do not serve people or improve places in Southall
  • businesses and profit-making projects
  • political groups, or people with political affiliations
  • the promotion of religion or religious activities
  • campaigning or lobbying activities
  • applicants applying for personal benefit
  • projects that exclude others on discriminatory grounds
  • costs that have already been incurred/spent

Projects must take place between April and end of September 2026.

The Southall Town Team have prepared a list of Frequently Asked Questions to support everyone to apply. You will find them useful in supporting your application so please do take a look at the information
