Previous Funds
Since we started, Merton Giving has given over £1.8 million in 350 grants, directly benefitting 50,000 Merton people and making Merton a better place to live, work and learn. Merton Giving would like to thank everyone who has contributed, including Merton people, businesses, Merton Council, South West London Integrated Care Board, Wimbledon Foundation, Clarion Housing Group and the Moat Foundation.
Improving health literacy for women
We had 15 applications, and made ten grants of £2k for information sessions which were attended by about 350 women, targeting under-served and global majority communities. These informal and supportive community sessions helped women feel safe and comfortable to discuss topics that some find sensitive or embarrassing.

The Merton Giving Fund, Civic Pride Small Grants launched in May 2024. The fund was aimed at bolstering the Voluntary and Community Sector aligning with the fourth theme of Merton Council’s over-arching Civic Pride fund, Enabling System and Place.
