Voluntary and community organisations in Harlow are being encouraged to apply for grants from the Harlow Recreation Trust.
Grants of between £500 and £7,500 are available for projects and activities that support recreational activities, knowledge and talent for the benefit of people living in Harlow.
The Trust has been managed by us since 2010 and has awarded grants totalling nearly £600,000 to support local charities and voluntary groups. We assess all applications to the Trust and work with a panel of local people who share their knowledge and expertise to help make decisions on which applications to support.

Previous organisations that have received support include Plant Pots and Wellies, a Harlow based project providing safe opportunities for horticultural and outdoor therapy. They received £4,000 from the Trust to support the cost of employing a part-time member of staff to deliver a range of outdoor activity sessions for children, young adults and adults with additional needs.
The deadline to submit an application is 5th November 2026.
