Windrush Day Grant Scheme 2024

The Windrush Day Grant Scheme 2024 Applications are now closed

The Windrush Day Grant Scheme supports groups to commemorate, celebrate and educate people about the contribution of the Windrush generation and their descendants across communities in our country.  Funded projects will help people join together in celebrating the arrival of the MV Empire Windrush.

The grant scheme forms a part of the Government’s commitment to level up opportunity across diverse communities and help build greater trust in public services while improving outcomes for everyone and forging a greater sense of belonging.  

Thank you for your interest in this funding scheme.

The response has been overwhelming and we have received 260+ applications requesting a total of £6 million. We wish the very best of luck to everyone who has applied.

Results will be announced in February 2024.
