Lambeth Mutual Aid Fund

We are a mutual aid fund for Lambeth redistributing income in the form of monthly no-strings-attached grants for those in financial hardship.

About


We are a group of people in Lambeth, who came together in the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic to share support across the borough. Today we run a free cafe once a month in Brixton, redistribute wealth via this Solidarity Fund, signpost people to additional support, and more. For further information, see the How We Work section of our website.

We give out monthly grants of up to £30 on a no-strings-attached basis, which you can apply for via this form. The solidarity fund  is currently closed for applications while we share funds with everyone who applied in June. We had roughly 200 applications and won't be able to open the fund again until December.  

Please do not request money directly on this page. 


If you'd like to be added to the email list to be told when the fund is opening, or if you'd like to get more directly involved in what we do, please email us at [email protected]
