Greenwich Neighbourhood Growth Fund (GNGF)
Residents can now vote for their favourite neighbourhood projects from Thursday, 29 January, until Sunday, 8 February.
The application window for Round 7 of the Greenwich Neighbourhood Growth Fund closed in December 2025.
We received 150 project proposals, totalling over £3 million across the 4 neighbourhood zones.
How to vote for your favourite neighbourhood projects
You can vote for your favourite project by clicking on one of the neighbourhood zones below to cast your vote:
- Eltham and Kidbrooke (Zone 1)
- Blackheath, Greenwich and Greenwich Peninsula (Zone 2)
- Charlton and Woolwich (Zone 3)
- Abbey Wood, Plumstead and Thamesmead (Zone 4)
What happens after voting closes
Once all votes are received, area panels will be held. These panels will be attended by Ward Councillors, who will review the proposals and decide how the available funds should be allocated.
Each neighbourhood zone can allocate up to £250,000. This is a total of £1 million across the borough.
About the GNGF
Local organisations can apply for funding on community projects that address the impact of development in their area.
The fund uses money from the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL). This is a scheme that allows councils to raise money from local developments to help improve infrastructure.
A portion of the CIL collected (15%) is spent on local priorities in consultation with the community. This is known as Neighbourhood CIL or the Greenwich Neighbourhood Growth Fund (GNGF).
Previously funded projects
Over £2.5m has now been awarded to 157 projects across the borough across 6 funding rounds.
These include projects such as:
- replacing windows at a play centre
- creating a sensory garden for a hospice
- running a digital inclusion programme
- park and playground improvements across the borough
- a community crèche
