'We Are Hounslow' Cultural Commissioning Fund

London Borough of Hounslow is launching a new Cultural Commissioning Fund, with a total pot of £ 525,000, over 3 years. This Fund is separate from any initiatives proposed under our application to be London Borough of Culture 2021.

The We are Hounslow Fund intends to promote and support culture across the borough. It is designed to:

• extend cultural participation - by making a diverse range of cultural opportunities available and attractive to a wider range of local residents, and engaging new audiences with the borough's cultural offer.

• connect and strengthen the community-based cultural offer - by building connections and capacity amongst local cultural groups across the borough.

• increase Hounslow's profile and reputation as a cultural destination - by providing quality cultural programming that draws people into the borough;

We want providers to come forward and outline how they will deliver transformative ambitions for culture in Hounslow through the new 'We Are Hounslow' fund.

There are three stages :
