'We Are Hounslow' Cultural Commissioning Fund

London Borough of Hounslow is launching a new Cultural Commissioning Fund over the next 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 :
Read our full Fund Guidance, check if you meet our Eligibility Criteria and have a look at the Award Criteria to see how your application will be assessed.
Make an appointment at one of our Surgery Sessions in the week of the 27 January and submit your Proposal by 7 February 2020.
If you are shortlisted you will be asked to attend a Cultural Panel Interview as part of the Assessment Process.
