Calling Islington residents and community organisations! Do you have a project idea, activity or event that could make a difference to your community? The Make It Happen fund offers up to £500 for people to act on things they care about locally.

Make it Happen is a micro-grants programme which offers grants to residents and local community organisations in Islington who would like to organise a small project or event for their community. The grant programme is a partnership between Islington Giving and social housing landlords Peabody, Hyde, Clarion alongside other local voluntary organisations in Islington.

Whether you want to bring a new idea to life, put on a community event, or support the ongoing work of  your small local group, projects must align with one of the following aims:

  • Healthy– helping people with their physical and mental wellbeing
  • Happy– helping people make the most out of their lives through active citizenship, volunteering and community involvement
  • Connected – putting people at the centre of grants, exploring what is important to them
