Applications are now open for this year's Love Where You Live Fund (LWYL), supporting projects that make a positive difference to Notting Hill Genesis residents and communities.
Over the past year, more than £100,000 has been invested in projects that have improved wellbeing, strengthened community connections, increased financial resilience, developed skills and created opportunities for residents of all ages.
Our funding has supported a wide range of initiatives, including:
Wembley Mela, bringing thousands of people together to celebrate culture, diversity and community.
Art in the Docks, delivering creative activities, community events and wellbeing sessions that reduced social isolation and strengthened local pride.
Tutors United, providing free Maths and English tuition for children from low-income households, helping improve confidence and educational attainment.
Local Lenses, enabling older residents to develop photography and storytelling skills while building connections within their community.
M.O.M Support for Mothers, providing peer support, wellbeing activities and opportunities for mothers to build supportive networks.
Chair-based exercise sessions and other wellbeing activities helping residents stay active, improve physical health and reduce social isolation.
Community coffee mornings, family fun days, gardening projects, cultural celebrations, movie nights and seasonal events organised by Housing Officers, resident groups and partner organisations.
Employment, digital skills and financial wellbeing programmes helping residents build confidence, access opportunities and improve financial resilience.
