We are encouraging Lewisham residents and community groups to have their say and show support for a number of capital projects proposed in your ward and across Lewisham.
Community Groups and organisations can apply for NCIL funding to deliver their own projects.
Before completing the application form, you are advised to read the Guidance and attend a workshop.
For additional support you can get help to apply. Support includes registering to attend a workshop, 1-2-1 support and useful online resources.
Residents are invited to support up to three suggested capital projects. Your preferences will contribute to the overall assessment process. To view and support these projects, please continue reading.
What has changed?
We have made it easier for residents and groups to show their support for a selection of Council-led infrastructure projects. These have been proposed based on:
- Input from ward councillors and officers who work closely with communities and understand which projects have community support
- Previous suggestions for capital projects, proposed by residents and community groups, but which were not funded in Round 1
The projects have been assessed and shortlisted based on:
- Whether they meet the NCIL fund criteria and Lewisham's priorities
- Affordability
- Deliverability
How can we show our support?
Lewisham residents and community groups are invited to view these projects via our consultation hub, you will then be able to choose up to 3 capital projects that you would like to see funded.
Why has the process changed?
Previously, residents and organisations could apply for capital projects that were then delivered by council teams. Once properly costed and assessed for delivery, we found that some of these projects either exceeded the funding requested or were undeliverable in the NCIL timeframe because of a number of technical challenges.
This new process means that residents and organisations don't have to take on the responsibility of researching costs and making an application on behalf of the council. We have put forward over 150 bids across the borough, fully costed and deliverable within the next 2 years, for your consideration.
The project I want to see funded isn't listed
If your project is not listed on the consultation hub, and you are a community group wanting to deliver your project yourselves, we would encourage you to apply for funding. Please read through the Application Guidance and FAQs prior to starting your application, or you can register to attend one of our workshops.
