Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of projects do you fund?
We fund projects that create clear, measurable, and lasting impact, particularly those supporting physical and mental wellbeing, education, community inclusion, and quality of life for people facing disadvantage.

We Fund

We do not typically fund individuals, private businesses, political or religious activities without broad public benefit, statutory obligations of public bodies, or projects without a clear and measurable public benefit.

Yes. We support organisations of all sizes, including grassroots and local groups, where their work aligns with our mission and demonstrates meaningful community impact.

We offer:

  • Small grants (up to £2,500) for short-term or immediate needs

  • Medium grants (up to £15,000) for projects with a 12-month impact plan

  • Large grants (up to £50,000) for high-impact, scalable programmes

  • Discretionary grants awarded by our Board

No. We do not currently accept unsolicited applications. Funding is awarded through targeted outreach or invitation.

Decisions are based on alignment with our mission, potential for real-world impact, sustainability, and benefit to the wider community.

We’re unable to respond to funding enquiries, but we actively engage with the sector and may contact organisations whose work closely aligns with our priorities.

We are committed to ethical, transparent funding that treats every grant as an investment in a fairer, more inclusive future.
