Community Cohesion Grants

Building bridges,

strengthening bonds

At East Brighton Trust, we believe in the power of community to uplift, inspire, and support one another. Our community cohesion grants scheme is designed to provide helpful support to East Brighton community groups and events, fostering a sense of unity and belonging.

Empowering

communities

Since we began, we’ve proudly handed grants to support a wide array of projects that bring people together, from art classes to sports sessions, youth clubs, community festivals, and beyond. These grants, of up to £750 each, help to fund events and activities that enrich East Brighton and the city as a whole.

“Thanks to the grant from East Brighton Trust, Archaeodiscovery had the opportunity to assist a group of residents (of all ages) to discover the archaeology on their doorstep. We spent a day up on Whitehawk Hill, learning how the residents of the past lived in this very same landscape.”
