Find out more about the Arts and Culture theme: 

As part of our legacy from our time as London Borough of Culture, we seek to support the development and delivery of creative projects designed with, and for, Wandsworth residents that support the cultural life of the borough.

Working across all art genres (e.g. community festivals, choirs, performances, visual arts), this funding is designed to support all residents accessing, engaging and/or participating in creative activities. WGF applications should align with the Arts and Culture Strategy 2021–31, and help to contribute towards at least one of the seven goals 

We are keen to support projects that work with residents from a wide range of backgrounds and reach new and/or hard to reach audiences, including those who might not have access to technology and resources.

Priorities for this theme include:

• The development and delivery of high quality, flexible and responsive arts led activities, from across all art genres
• Developing strong partnerships - that also help to build applicants knowledge and understanding of groups, networks and organisations in the borough
• Research and development/pilot activity - that tests new ways of working, that has clear benefit to residents and the cultural offer in the borough
• Sustainable skills development - opportunities for Wandsworth-based artists, organisations and residents to develop their skills, practice and/or ways of working to help ensure their cultural offer can be maintained and sustainable

The deadline for the next round of funding is midday on Monday 20 April 2026.
