Windrush Day is an important moment for our city - a chance to celebrate the lasting contribution of the Windrush Generation and reflect on the stories that have shaped Manchester.
To support communities to mark the occasion in their own way, Manchester City Council is offering grants of up to £400 to help you organise a local event or activity.
his could be through sharing stories, hosting cultural activities, or inspiring the next generation.
The funding can be used flexibly to help bring your event to life - whether that’s hiring a space or equipment, providing refreshments, running cultural or educational activities, supporting transport for those who need it, or promoting your event locally.
Any idea, big or small, is welcome to apply and to create a city-wide celebration that honours this important legacy.
