The Curve Legacy Collective is a community-led funding body for North Kensington.
It has been shaped around the belief that local funding should be distributed with fairness, discipline, transparency and respect for the people it is intended to serve.
The collective exists to help direct support toward local residents, grassroots initiatives, community organisations and projects that can make a real difference in North Kensington.
It recognises that community benefit can take different forms.
Sometimes that means supporting a local activity, programme or resident-led idea.
Sometimes it may mean responding to a clearly justified individual practical need that can improve dignity, accessibility, independence or wellbeing.
The collective is committed to a funding culture that is not arbitrary, political or personality-led.
It aims to combine local knowledge with careful governance, so that decisions are made fairly, recorded properly and handled with care.
What makes the collective different?
It is designed for both shared community benefit and, where justified, practical individual support.
It is Community-rooted perspective rather than top-down decision-making.
Formal governance from the outset, not an informal discussion group.
A commitment to fair criteria, documented reasons and responsible stewardship.
A culture intended to be respectful, independent, transparent and robust under scrutiny.
