Your Voice Your Town - Hanwell Community Fund

Good Morning,

This message is being sent on behalf of London Borough of Ealing via “Your Town Your Voice” - with funding opportunities for community projects to improve your town and local community neighbourhoods - Please see the below for further information: 

What is 'Your Voice, Your Town'?

Your Voice, Your Town (YVYT) is an approach to supporting community-led change across the 7 towns of Ealing. This approach is built on a simple principle: communities already have the ideas, skills, assets and relationships needed to improve their neighbourhoods. The council can enable the conditions in which those strengths can flourish.

YVYT brings residents, businesses, faith and community organisations, and a representative group of councillors together to improve their area and make great things happen. The approach works to unlock the skills, energy, and potential in each town to take action on the things local people care most about.

It is led by the community, with support from Ealing Council.

What is the Community Fund?

To support and catalyse community-led change, Town Teams have launched Community Funds to make a difference to local priorities. In 2025/2026, Town Teams across the borough supported 77 ideas, with over £418,000 to catalyse community-powered change.

The Town Teams across the borough have now opened a new round of community funding to address local priorities and support local action. In 2026/2027, £480,000 has been provided across all the Towns. Each Town has been allocated a specific amount of funding within that, which you can read below.

What are Town Teams supporting in each of the 7 Towns?

Over the last few months, Town Teams have been examining insights on local priorities and where Town Team members believe they can help mobilise and catalyse local action.

As part of their first phase of work, they Town Team has now launched a new community fund to support brilliant ideas in each of the Towns.
