Rolling fund
Funding is for small registered charities, voluntary groups and charitable organisations in the UK for work that makes a difference to people’s lives as opposed to simply alleviating the symptoms or current problems and should aim to reduce isolation, stigma and discrimination.
Applicants must have a direct benefit to the following groups, or work with an significant numbers from more than one such group:
- Asylum seekers and refugees (but not groups working with a single nationality).
- Gypsies and Travellers.
- Migrant communities.
- Offenders and ex-offenders.
- Older people.
- People experiencing mental health problems.
- People experiencing violence or abuse
One-off grants are available from £500 and £15,000 are available. The average grant is between £5,000 and £6,000.
Overall, the Foundation wishes to fund work which:
- Will make a lasting difference to people’s lives rather than simply alleviating the symptoms or current problems.
- Is aimed at reducing isolation, stigma and discrimination.
- Encourages or enables unpopular groups to share in the life of the whole community.
