JohnDo you have an idea that could help bring people together in East Leeds? The Hey Neighbour grants fund is now open!
Hey Neighbour asks communities what they need and what ideas they have to improve lives in their local area.
The Hey Neighbour grants scheme helps this to happen, supporting both new and existing activity. It brings people together to share the good things that help a community to grow.
In Summer 2023, the organisation granted 24 organisations a total of £20,000 worth of funding between £300 and £1,500.
Tis year there is £20,000 worth of grants to give away, up to £1,500 each, supporting both new and existing activity.
Deadline is 12 noon on 24 June 2024.
A spkesperson said: “If you have a good idea but no official group set-up, or if you would like support to apply – get in touch!”

Support independent community journalism!
East Side Story covers the people, places and stories in Leeds that are too often overlooked. While national headlines chase conflict and clickbait, we focus on real communities and the issues shaping daily life in East Leeds.
Divisive content, AI noise and online rumours spread faster than ever. At the same time, many mainstream outlets are stretched and rarely spotlight the community organisations and local champions who deserve recognition.
East Side Story was created to change that. We answer only to our readers. We have no corporate owners or billionaire funders. Our journalists report freely, ask difficult questions and hold power to account.
Your support helps us keep this work going. Monthly contributions make the biggest impact because they allow us to invest in deeper reporting and fearless local journalism.
Supporters also receive exclusive updates, behind the scenes insights and other benefits as a thank you for keeping independent journalism alive.
