A small grants fund to test out new ideas for Barking and Dagenham
The Give it a Go Fund is open to local businesses, charities, CICs, and individuals. We welcome bold ideas for making positive contributions to the borough.
Nassaba was one of the grantees in our first round of the Give it a Go Fund. She has gone on to be a co-designer for the second round and will also be a decision-maker. Watch the videos above to hear about her experience of being both a grantee and a co-designer!
What is the Give it a Go Fund?
Eight local people formed a team to make decisions about the design of the Give it a Go Fund.
They decided:
- applicants must have an annual turnover of no more than £50,000;
- the idea must address a gap or niche; and
- it must have potential to deliver social impactin the borough.
Social ImpactThe positive or negative effect that an individual, organisation or project has on the well-being and welfare of a community or society as a whole.
How to apply
Applications for the second round of the Give it a Go Fund are now closed.
The next round will launch in February 2025.
