Grant Finalists

The current voting is closed. We received 28 applications from a wide variety of community groups across London. Community Money shortlists organisations that cover a wide range of activities, have a positive impact on a wide sector of the local community and where our micro grant can make a big difference. Below is our list of shortlisted micro grant finalists. Voting closed on Monday December 1st.

We received 697 votes - Body Gossip received 257 votes or 37% of the vote, whilst the Croydon Hostel received 366 votes or 52% of the votes so they are awarded the micro grant - congratulations! Good luck to the other short-listed candidates and thanks for all who voted - we will hopefully provide you with an update of the Christmas celebrations on the website shortly.
