SAFER HOMES SERVICE: The Creighton Centre supports residents in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham to live safely, securely and independently at home.
They offer free home, fire and security safety assessments for:
- Adults aged 65 and over,
- Adults living with a disability, and
- Families receiving a means-tested benefit with a child under five or a child of any age with a disability.
As part of the service, they provide practical advice and can install safety equipment free of charge to reduce the risk of accidents, fire or burglary. This may include smoke alarms, stair gates, cupboard catches, door locks, securing loose carpets and window restrictors.
H&F GIVING COMMUNITY PANEL: H&F Giving are delighted to announce that recruitment for A Better H&F Panel is now live. They are looking for residents of Hammersmith & Fulham to join our A Better H&F community panel and have the opportunity to participate on a range of projects, primarily our A Better Hammersmith & Fulham Fund over the next three years. Please 07534 20647999 or email
Community Panellists will help decide how local money is spent to tackle poverty, isolation, and inequality across our borough. Experience isn't required - local knowledge, lived experience, and values are what matter most. They will provide training, support, and guidance every step of the way. Community panellists will receive a payment or honorarium for taking part in the process. We will offer flexible payment options where possible to support participation.

APPLICATIONS FOR HELP: If you need help from us and you are applying for yourself or your family, you need to be aware that we have a waiting list and it will take several weeks before we get in touch. Please do not try and contact us about your application as it just slows us down and means the waiting list gets longer. If you receive a message saying your application has been submitted, it will be in the system. Thank you for your understanding
ORGANISATION APPLICATIONS: We have changed the way organisations apply for funding from us so please don't use the old paper form but go to our grants page and read our criteria before completeing the online application process. If we have supported you in the last two years, there is no deadline as we are able to consider these applications monthly. For organisations we haven't supported before (or it's been a while) there are no fixed dates, but meetings are likely to take place in March, June, Septmber and December. Any holiday schemes need to get applications in by the end of April at the latest!
