The proposals focus on five key initiatives arising from the pre-consultation engagement phase:
Proposal 1

This programme covers three separate strands:
- A. Personal Memory grants
For close family members of the deceased.
£3m over 5 years. - B. Grants for young people affected by Grenfell
Young people may be eligible to apply if they meet one of the following:
a) were aged 16–25 at the time of the Grenfell Tower fire and were part of the North Kensington and/or Grenfell community on the date of the fire;
OR
b) are a young person aged 30 or under at the time the project is delivered, with additional needs, and are from the North Kensington and/or Grenfell community.
£1m over 5 years. - C. Community resilience grants
Funding groups disproportionately impacted by Grenfell and grassroots Grenfell Anniversary activities.

Proposal 2
A five-year residential and day activity programme
To support personal development, confidence and life skills for young people aged 11–15 years at the time of project delivery and living in North Kensington and/or are part of Grenfell communities.
£1.5m over 5 years.
Proposal 3
A five-year outreach programme
A programme supporting people in the North Kensington and Grenfell communities who are interested in careers in fire safety. This will be an annual programme of promoting awareness and opportunities, targeted workshops and will provide funding for a relevant fire safety qualification. The outreach activities aim to raise awareness of, and provide information, guidance, and support for career opportunities in fire safety and the qualifications needed to pursue them.
Each year, 12 people will be able to take part in a series of workshops (six) run by experienced fire safety professionals from London Fire Brigade. The workshop sessions will provide practical advice, career insights and support to apply for a Level 3 Fire Safety Certificate delivered by external training providers. These sessions will also provide support and advice for applications for entry level fire safety roles within London Fire Brigade and other organisations.
The costs of this support and the Level 3 Fire Safety Certificate qualification will be fully funded by the Grenfell Memory Project. It is anticipated that this programme will improve the ability of members of the North Kensington and Grenfell communities affected by the Grenfell Tower fire to access a fire safety course and apply for fire safety careers within London Fire Brigade and other organisations.
£300,000 over 5 years.
Proposal 4
Reducing future tragedies
Development of educational/Continuing Professional Development (CPD) resources (with embedded Grenfell case studies) as part of influencing culture change in the built environment.

Proposal 5
Feasibility study (without commitment)
To assess the viability and sustainability of a community hub with a youth focus within the Grenfell catchment area.

£60,000
Together, these proposals aim to honour the 72 lives lost, help keep the lessons of Grenfell alive, and support those still affected, while complementing – not repeating – existing community initiatives.
