The Bromley Community Fund (BCF) aims to support organisations across the London Borough of Bromley, responding to the changing needs and hardships faced by local people. Local charities and community organisations are at the forefront of tackling these issues and the goal of the BCF is to provide a source of funding for these projects through an endowed fund.
BCF aims to support charities and community groups responding to the most acute needs of the Bromley community.
The following are our fund themes for the year and groups who are working in the following areas may apply:
1. Increasing educational achievement for disadvantaged young people
- Projects which directly support young people in the most deprived areas of Bromley to realise their potential e.g. through homework clubs, sporting or art activities
- Projects tackling barriers to education for vulnerable groups e.g. young people in care, traveller communities, or children with disabilities
- Projects which support parents and carers to support their children’s education
2. Supporting older people and their carers
- Older people: projects addressing social isolation or ensuring the most vulnerable older people access the funding and services available to them
- Carers: projects ensuring adults in a caring role are able to access advice, information, and respite support
3. Support for other vulnerable people and communities
- Adults with disabilities
- People with mental health issues
- Traveller communities
Applicant organisations should be locally based
- All applicant organisations should be locally based in Bromley or an adjacent borough and working primarily with Bromley residents.
- Please note that priority will be given to Bromley-based organisations. If an organisation supports residents in other boroughs also, they must demonstrate that the proposed project is for Bromley residents.
Priority will also be given to:
- Organisations that can demonstrate that they are responding to the most acute needs of the community.
- Organisations with an annual income of less than £100,000.

Grants of up to £10,000 for 1-year are available to cover project related costs.
