The Scheme has been led by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC). Six rounds of Windrush Day Grant Scheme have been delivered since 2019. The Scheme's overarching mission is: Educate, Commemorate and Celebrate -recognise the vast positive contribution made by the Windrush Generation and their descendants to British society. The Scheme is extremely popular and receives around 200-300 applications every year. In 2024 the Scheme received 260 applications and will fund 27 projects. Independent evaluations of the Scheme indicate that projects funded through it have made a great positive impact, often well beyond the lifetime of the project. The work involved in administering the grant is varied and brings a high level of job satisfaction, because of the vast range of projects, and because of the passionate organisations and volunteers that bring a lot of energy, new ideas and create a lasting legacy of galvanising communities to work together to embrace positive aspects of our shared identity.
