Welcome to
Peckham Settlement
The Peckham Settlement is a volunteer-run local funder, providing small grants of £100 – £3,000 to charities and community groups in Peckham and the surrounding areas.
We are especially keen to hear from those needing smaller grants of £100 – £500 to help make local events and initiatives happen, bringing communities and estates together.
Peckham Settlement, whose history dates back to 1896, closed its doors as a community centre in summer 2012 but is now fully back up and running as a grant-making body.
Our Vision:
Every person in SE15 has equal access to opportunities for a fair and flourishing neighbourhood.
Our Mission:
Through purposeful grant-making to charities and community groups, we aim to make a difference in SE15, and enable everyone to feel involved and included in creating a flourishing neighbourhood.
– The next grant application rounds will be announced soon.

Responding to our COVID Emergency Fund
For us personally at Peckham Rights!, the Peckham Settlement Emergency Grant was a much needed resource to help with COVID-19 health promotion last summer 2020, when there was still so much unknown about the illness and best ways of protecting ourselves and our communities. For our Peckham community, which has a large Black African and immigrant population, it was especially important to ensure that messaging was reaching those and other marginalised communities, which were more susceptible to severe illness and death than both the majority and average UK populations. At the time of the grant award, Peckham and Southwark were among the worst-hit areas of London and the whole of the UK in infection rates, so specific targeting was vitally important. Many thanks to Peckham Settlement for recognising the importance of this work and for supporting our efforts to help our community though, arguably, one of the most collectively-challenging events of our lifetimes.
