Grants

The Ham & Petersham Association and Amenities Group has supported local causes for many years. To make it clearer and easier to apply for help Ham and Petersham has drawn up the following criteria and method of application for local people to ask for financial support.

Awards

The highest award will be £3000 though we expect the more typical award to be £250 to £500. Applications from local people should be made in writing to using the form or download and print the application form. The decision will be made at the next committee or by email should the application be more urgent. We will ask for evidence after the activity.

The Ham and Petersham Association and Amenities Group will only fund activities or projects for the benefit of people living in Ham and Petersham, and may decide not to fund work that, in the opinion of the Committee, should be carried out by the local Council.
