GRANTS
The MPGA gives modest grants and practical assistance to community groups across London. The Association is flexible and moves with the times, while still holding firm to its core values. Each case is considered on its merits.
The MPGA enjoys working with London's wide and diverse communities. It has been involved in high profile initiatives, such as The British Library and the Inner Temple Garden, as well as in schemes in socially deprived areas like the Tate Library Gardens in Brixton and Spitalfields City Farm.
The MPGA has the experience and skills to help with a wide range of initiatives, whether it be refurbishing a small neglected churchyard or funding planting at Lambeth Palace. The Association often works in partnership with local authorities and community groups, helping to organise campaigns where key community sites are involved. It frequently gives advice in conjunction with applications for Lottery funding and other grants and has found that a small amount of funding often sets the ball rolling and kick starts other initiatives.
If you want to find out more about the sort of schemes in which the MPGA has been involved, please look at the Projects page, where you can see some of the Association's recent efforts.
The MPGA would welcome hearing from amenity groups in London looking for modest funding or help with a site or garden which has been neglected or where improvements are proposed. In the first instance please contact the Secretary:
