Pathways Grants Programme- Grass Roots Programme

The Pathways Grants Programme, managed by Housing Pathways, supports small community and voluntary groups in Ealing, focused on providing affordable housing and aid to disadvantaged individuals. Grants range from £250 to £5,000, aimed at projects aiding low-income families, those with disabilities, and domestic violence survivors. Eligible applicants must be active for at least 12 months and demonstrate a commitment to community needs. This initiative fosters local engagement and strengthens the voluntary sector in the area.

Housing Pathways is an Ealing based, not for profit organisation working to help communities and individuals through the provision of affordable housing for older people and grant funding. Our grants programme funds organisations working with people of all ages at a local level in Ealing and Brentford.
Each year the Pathway Grant Programme invites applications from local charitable, benevolent and philanthropic organisations. We are particularly interested in receiving bids for projects working with people on a low income, people disadvantaged through ill health or disability, survivors of domestic violence, those needing support into employment and education and community groups working to overcome isolation and support and strengthen the local community and voluntary sector. Where applicable, bids must include details of arrangements for safeguarding children and vulnerable adults as part of their planned activities.
