Are you working to improve the health and wellbeing of women in your community? Kingston Voluntary Action is pleased to offer Women’s Health Grants of up to £2,000 to support local voluntary and community sector (VCSE) organisations across South West London.
These grants are designed to help groups deliver impactful projects that address the unique health needs of women and girls - particularly those from underserved or marginalised communities.
What Can Be Funded
Organisations can apply to deliver one or more of the following:
1. Culturally Specific Workshops/Activities
Community-based sessions offering safe spaces to discuss menopause, urogynaecology, and menstrual health—especially for women who don’t engage with NHS services. Includes training up to 3 local health champions to support and sustain engagement.
2. Large-Scale Learning Events
One expert-led event per borough (online or in-person) or a series of smaller events reaching 250–300 people. Must be accessible, culturally appropriate, and scalable. Only one grant per borough will be awarded for this.
3. School-Based Menstrual Health Education
Programmes to improve understanding and reduce stigma among young girls. Applicants must already be working in schools.
Who Can Apply
To be eligible, your organisation must:
- Be a not-for-profit group or charity
- Be based in or delivering services in South West London
- Have an annual income of under £250,000
- Be able to deliver your project within 6 months of receiving the grant
We particularly encourage applications from Black and minoritised women-led groups, LGBTQ+ organisations, and those working with disabled women.
How to Apply
Applications are now open and will be reviewed on a rolling basis until all funds are allocated.
