Registered charities and other not-for-profit organisations in the UK
are eligible to apply for grants of over £10,000. There is no set upper limit
but most grants are expected to be for between £20,000 and £40,000 per annum. A
small number of larger grants may be made but only where the work has either
regional or national significance, is delivered by a number of partners or is
clearly breaking new ground.
Funding is available for work under the following themes:
- Better futures - improving vulnerable young
people’s lives. Funding is available for organisations working with
vulnerable young people, aged 11 to 24 years, to develop their social and
emotional capabilities, including confidence, resilience, problem-solving
and positive relationships. This includes work that creates the
foundations for healthy, safer and more secure lifestyles, better
employment opportunities and successful transitions from adolescence into
adulthood.
- Healthier finances - tackling financial
poverty. Funding is available to support people to develop money
management skills, to maximise their income, and avoid debt and costly
credit wherever possible. Support is also available for the development of
affordable credit and financial services.
- Safer lives - reducing violence,
abuse and exploitation. Funding is available to empower people to avoid
harmful situations, provide specialist support to those in need and tackle
the root causes of the problems it seeks to address.
- Fairer society - ensuring people overcome
inequality. Funding is available to support marginalised groups of people
to have a voice in decisions that affect their lives as well as groups
tackling some of the root causes of injustice by working together towards
a fairer society.
Applications may be submitted at any time.
