Celebrating 10 years of Community Grants Projects

Wick Award is proud to have supported local people and organisations through our Community Grants Scheme. The scheme provided small grants to help bring ideas to life, support local initiatives, and make Hackney Wick and the wider Well Street Common Neighbourhood an even better place to live.

Since launching the scheme, Wick Award has supported a wide range of projects – from youth activities and local events to wellbeing programmes and community-led initiatives:

  • Grants have helped fund youth workshops and sports programmes.

  • Local festivals and neighbourhood events have brought residents together.

  • Community organisations have developed new projects to support health, creativity, and social connections.

“The Wick Award grant gave us the boost we needed to get started – it’s made a real difference to our community.” – Local resident
