May 8, 2025
Hackney Giving’s Cost of Living funding programme is now open.
The cost of living is continuing to cause problems for many people living in Hackney. We are inviting applications from not-for-profit groups working to support people with the cost of living in summer 2025.
By donating to Hackney Giving, you can support grassroots groups working with communities in Hackney and the City of London. Through our grants we work to improve health and wellbeing and bring people together to reduce social isolation.
