World On Your Doorstep Projects Grants available for Residents' Associations

We have secured additional funding to offer World On Your Doorstep Project grants up to £500 for recognised residents’ associations for projects that specifically aim to include under-represented communities in their defined area.

Each year we provide recognised residents’ associations with information about the make-up of their area so they can identify if there are any groups in their community who could be actively encouraged to get more involved with the association. Homes for Haringey’s Resident Involvement team are happy to advise groups on ways they could try to do this. Note that the deadline for applications is 28th February, 2010.

For more information and an application form, contact us on 020 8489 4463 or email us at: resident.involvement@homesforharingey.org
