This summer, we want to support community groups with grants for street parties to lessen social isolation and strengthen communities. Your gift will help bring people together and reduce loneliness.

When life’s burdens weigh heavy, and celebrating feels out of reach due to financial strain, mounting bills, or the relentless demand for basic necessities, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and isolated. These challenges take a toll on our mental wellbeing, amplifying feelings of loneliness and stress.

But what if, for just one day, we could set aside those worries, come together and have fun? That’s exactly what we aim to provide.

Our vision is simple: a series of parties at local community centres, green spaces, in streets or on estates. We will offer grants of up to £1,000 to community groups to host events that bring people together to reduce isolation and strengthen local communities. Whether it’s enjoying uplifting activities, accessing mental health resources, or simply finding comfort in the company of others, we aim to increase wellbeing through these events.

Through our symphony of street parties, we aim to offer a respite from life’s pressures. With your support, Hackney Giving will create opportunities for people to connect with their community and rejuvenate their spirits.

Donate now to give the gift of a day free from worry, where celebration is not only possible but encouraged. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of people living in Hackney and the City of London.
