Edgware Community Fund opens applications for 2025

 The Edgware Town Centre Team is delighted to announce that the Edgware Town Centre Community Fund is back for 2025.

Following the success of last year’s funding, which saw £26,900 distributed to a variety of local community groups, including Unitas Youth Zone and FUSE Youth Group. This year a new fund will be made available for initiatives across Edgware. 

Grant recipients of the 2024 application process.

The Community Fund comes from Ballymore Edgware Ltd, the Special Purpose Vehicle behind the Edgware Town Centre project. The scheme includes proposals of 3,365 new homes, including 1,150 (35%) affordable homes, a new Town Square, the reinvigoration of the high street and improvements to public transport links and access across the site. There will also be a significant increase in green space for the town centre, including opening up Deans Brook Nature Park, created by unlocking land which has been inaccessible to the public for almost 100 years.

Grants of up to £3,000 are available for local initiatives, with last year’s fund supporting 12 local community groups, including the Mill Hill Community Choir, The Hive Foundation and the Stonegrove Community Trust.  

The Edgware Town Centre Team is encouraging local groups to apply for the fund that is a key pillar of the Edgware Town Centre project.

Simon Ryan, Developments Director, at Ballymore said: “We are thrilled that our Edgware Community Fund is back for another round in 2025. There are so many excellent local organisations in Edgware, many of whom we are lucky enough to work with already, that make a real difference to the area. The additional funding will build on our successful first year of the community fund in 2024, which provided nearly £27,000 in funding to support activities from youth groups to food banks, a community choir to cooking classes. We are looking forward to seeing this year’s applications in the coming weeks and encourage all local groups to apply.”
