Central District Alliance Community Funds

The Central District Alliance Community Fund is for community and charity groups in the Camden and Islington area of the Central District Alliance.

At CDA we believe in the power of community. This is an opportunity to work together to make Holborn, St Giles, Bloomsbury, Farringdon and Clerkenwell, and the surrounding areas a better place to work, live, and visit. We are supporting projects which directly impact the area and ensure we are supporting local community groups.
