Near Neighbours
Near Neighbours helps people make their communities stronger.
Making communities stronger
Near Neighbours helps people make their communities stronger. By encouraging people to get to know each other and work together they can build relationships of trust and improve their neighbourhoods.
It’s not about, religion, class or ethnicity. It’s all about community.
Small Grants
The programme offers small grants between £250 and £5,000, as seed funding for local groups working together to improve their neighbourhood.

We want a fair financial system for everyone.
Places of Welcome
Sometimes the simple ideas are the best. Places of Welcome is a network supported by Near Neighbours and Together Network, which provides places where people can meet regularly for a cup of tea and a chat.
Liz Carnelley, Director Near NeighboursIn many neighbourhoods across England, different faith and ethnic communities live and work next to each other, yet rarely interact with one another.
