Sheffield Life, Loss and Death Festival 2027:
Community Projects
Community Projects: Guidance and Call for Proposals
Through Community Projects funding, we would like to support community organisations in Sheffield to create and deliver events and activities as part of the Festival.
Next year’s festival aims to help us all build the knowledge, confidence and skills we need to navigate death, dying and loss. Through festival activities, we’ll be able to support and learn from each other, prepare for the future, and experience something new. We’re looking for contributions in three ways.
Our Community Projects funding provides an opportunity to try out at the Festival a new idea or extend an existing activity for the communities you know best, with your knowledge and expertise.
Funding of up to £1000 per project is available to voluntary, community and charitable organisations within Sheffield. If you have more ambitious ideas, we can talk about that too.
If you would like to propose an event or activity, we have prepared some guidance on what we’re looking for and how we will assess proposals.
We invite you to submit your idea or proposal now through this online form:
Please note the deadline for completing this form is Monday 7th December 2026.
You’re very welcome to share this survey widely with others.
