**Schools, charities and community groups across Kent and East Sussex are encouraged
to apply for a share of £5,000 as applications for a housebuilder’s first-round 
funding scheme comes to a close.**

[Applications to the £5,000 fund](https://www.barrattredrow.co.uk/news/2026/redrow-southeast-re-launches-official-community-fund)

Over the last two years, almost 20 organisations, schools and individuals have received

of Redrow South East’s wider £10,000 Community Fund for 2026, which is being delivered
in two £5,000 rounds.
