A new community fund has launched to support charities and grassroots organisations across Sutton, helping ensure local people benefit from the continued growth of the London Cancer District.
The London Cancer District Fund will provide match funding of up to £5,000 per project to not-for-profit organisations based in, or supporting people in, the London Borough of Sutton.
The fund forms part of Aviva Capital Partners and Socius’s commitment to expanding the London Cancer District – which recently received planning consent for its next phase of growth.
Supporting the community alongside world-leading science
As the District continues to evolve, the aim is simple: deliver meaningful benefits for local people alongside world-class research and innovation.
Delivered through Crowdfunder and primarily funded by Aviva – with additional contributions from members of the wider London Cancer District professional team – the fund will support projects that:
- Improve health and wellbeing
- Strengthen community connections and local spaces
- Create opportunities for young people
- Inspire interest in science, discovery and innovation

Backing the organisations that make Sutton thrive
The London Cancer District is already one of the UK’s most important centres for cancer research. As investment continues, the Fund is designed to ensure the benefits are shared locally and support the charities and community groups that make a difference every day.
Projects will be selected following an application and assessment process via Crowdfunder, with funding awarded in the coming months.
Alongside this initiative, Community Action Sutton is preparing to launch a separate Healthy Lifestyle Fund in early March, funded by Sutton Council, offering further opportunities for local organisations.
