Last year's public vote.

2025
The Brixton & Peckham public vote

In 2025, the THINC Fund put funding decisions in the hands of the community. We backed bold ideas from young people in Brixton and Peckham, and the winners were chosen by public vote — neighbours, friends, family and strangers all weighing in.

Hundreds of residents helped decide which projects got funded. The result: real money going to ideas that the community itself rallied behind.

This year, we're evolving the format into a Pitch Night — live, in front of a panel and an audience — but the spirit is the same: local people, local ideas, real investment.

Projects must support at least one priority community:
