Apply for a Community Grant for LGBT+ History Month

The Community Arts Grants is a London Borough of Newham fund that local individuals, groups, and organisations can apply for to deliver events for the national celebrations. The grants demonstrate council’s commitment to supporting artists and organisations to develop high quality arts and cultural activities, that celebrate the diversity of local communities and shine a light on creative talent, with activity unfolding across the borough.

In 2025 Schools OUT is celebrating its 50th year and 20 years of UK LGBT+ History Month. LGBT+ History Month is an opportunity to celebrate the past, present, and future of the LGBT+ community.
