Our funding priorities are:
Stronger Communities
We are looking for proposals that are:
- in the most disadvantaged areas and communities that are coming together to address what is important to them
- community responses to supporting people who are refugees or homeless
Better Outcomes for Families
We are looking for proposals that provide support for:
- families facing poverty or other challenges
- carers and their families
We are especially looking for proposals that promote:
- Community spaces and activities that help bring people together
- Leadership in the community
- Mental wellbeing
- Spiritual nurturing
Type and scale of funding:
- We expect that most awards will be between £10,000 and £100,000 in total
- We will provide funding for up to 3 years
- We will fund running, core and development costs
- We may fund capital costs but only where there is a clear link with our priorities and an obvious lack of alternative local facilities
We will not support the following areas:
- Applications from individuals
- Projects designed solely for the advancement of a particular faith
- Arts, culture or environmental projects which do not have a clear link with our priorities
Organisations whose primary focus is either younger people or older people should look at our Young People and Education or Older People and Housing programmes.
