Funding to support those in society who face the greatest challenges and whose opportunities are the most limited.

Registered and exempt charities in the UK can now apply for a grant of £1,000 to help tackle social disadvantage and support vulnerable individuals.

The Trust operates a three-year rotation system, with different fields of interests being funded each year.

During this round, the focus is on rehabilitation of prisoners, ex-prisoners and those at risk of offending.

Organisations must have an operating income of between £100,000 and £1 million to be eligible to apply.

The funders recognise that Black Lives Matter has highlighted discrimination faced by the Global Majority. Across each grant round, applicants will be asked to detail how their project addresses these issues.

The deadline to apply is 28 February 2023.

How To Apply

Round 1 of 2023 is now open until 28 February 2023.
