Help us decide how we spend the next £3m from the Pride in Merton Legacy Fund!

We're looking for local residents and business representatives to join the Pride in Merton Legacy Fund Advisory Board.

Last year, the board - a group of residents representing all of our communities - helped shortlist hundreds of community ideas for a public vote, allowing Merton people to decide how we should spend the first £3 million of our £15 million fund.

We’re now preparing for our second year. Once again, local people will have the chance to decide how the next £3m is spent!

Want to help turn community ideas into meaningful projects? We'd love to hear from you.

You can also sign up to hear about other opportunities to get involved.

🗓️ Express your interest by 13 September 2026 https://orlo.uk/WfCNz

Do you have an idea that could boost your high street or neighbourhood, or transform a local park?

We want to hear about it! Submit your idea by 16 November

Plus, we’re recruiting a local panel to shortlist your ideas - sign up by 2 November.

Last year, we asked the people of Merton for your ideas on how we should spend our innovative £15m public fund, called the Legacy Fund. We're now turning these ideas into projects.
