United St Saviour’s Mayflower 400 Grants Fund – Round 2

United St Saviour’s Charity has joined forces with British Land and Southwark Council to deliver the Southwark Mayflower 400 Grants Fund. The Fund aims to support local projects that mark and celebrate the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower.

Illuminate Rotherhithe Lantern Procession

Projects should respond to one or more of the key themes of the Mayflower story: migration, tolerance, enterprise and community. It should take place in the lead up to the anniversary of the Mayflower sailing and Thanksgiving in November 2020.

Eligibility

Activities or events must take place in the SE16 area, although some applications that relate to places of Mayflower significance in the wider SE1 area will also be considered. Individuals and for profit businesses are not eligible to apply.

Micro-grants for projects, activities and events of up to and including £1,000.
