Black History Month
Honouring the achievements, culture and history of African, Caribbean and diaspora communities.
In Southwark, Black History Month (BHM) has been celebrated widely for many years, honouring the achievements, culture and history of black people.
Every October Southwark’s community puts on a vibrant selection of events and activities through the grants programme. These provide insight into the history and culture of the African, Caribbean and diaspora communities.
Applicants can apply for up to £2,499 for their events.
Grants can add funds to an event or fund an event entirely.
We will open for grant applications on Tuesday 6 May 2025 and close on 4 June 2025.
More information will be posted nearer to the opening date.
