Two Fitzrovia-based community groups have been awarded seven years of grant funding by Camden Council out of the council’s Camden Community Partner Fund.
Fitzrovia Community Centre, based in Foley Street, will receive £25,000 every year for seven years, and Fitzrovia Youth in Action, based in Warren Street, will received £40,000 every year for seven years.
In the year ending 31 December 2022 , Fitzrovia Community Centre had an income of £298,132, according to accounts submitted to the Charities Commission.
Fitzrovia Youth in Action’s annual report for the year ending 31 March 2023 stated that its total income was £843,017.
In February 2023, Camden’s Full Council agreed a new seven-year, annual £4mn investment programme for Camden’s voluntary and community sector (VCS) to respond to the needs of Camden’s communities.
“The Community Partner Fund is a key part of this overall programme, providing unrestricted core grants over a seven-year period from April 2024 to March 2031 to Camden VCS partners who are deeply rooted in their communities and deliver significant social change,” states a report on the funding.
In total 38 VCS organisations across the borough will receive seven-years of grants. Four currently funded Strategic Partner Fund recipients that were unsuccessful in their applications will receive “transition funding” for two years from April 2024 to March 2026 “to mitigate the impacts associated with withdrawing funding”, stated the report.
