In 2025, the Foundation for Future London awarded a grant to Social Organisation for Unity and Leisure for its “Horizon Project” through our Year 5 Community Grant Scheme, part of our Westfield East Bank Creative Futures Fund, funded by Westfield Stratford City.
The “Horizon Project” aims to empower 80 East London youth (aged 14-21) with creative skills, mentorship and real-world experience, fostering confidence, career pathways and personal growth while strengthening the local creative ecosystem.
Westfield East Bank Creative Futures Fund is an award-winning innovative five-year programme that aims to invest £10 million into the local communities of Newham, Tower Hamlets, Hackney and Waltham Forest. The programme has transformed and catalysed the lives and careers of over 19,000 people in East London by putting funding, resources and support straight into local people’s hands.
