Lloyd’s Bank Foundation England and Wales Launches Unrestricted Grants

Support & Resources

05 December 2022/Categories: Grants_and_Funding

The grants programme will support small organisations addressing complex social issues.

Following the release of its 2022-26 strategy, ‘Building a Better Future’ the Foundation has announced the launch of a Specialist Funding Programme to continue supporting small and grassroots organisations across England and Wales.

Charities and Charitable Incorporated Organisations (CIOs) with a turnover of £25,000 to £500,000 can apply for an unrestricted grant of up to £75,000 over three years, provided they are carrying out work which fits in with one of the fund’s priorities:

  • Addiction and dependency on alcohol, drugs and/or gambling
  • Asylum seekers and refugees
  • Domestic and sexual abuse
  • Homeless and vulnerably housed
  • Offending, prison or community service
  • Sexual exploitation
  • Trafficking and modern slavery
  • Care leavers

The funding is for organisations supporting people (17 years and older) who are experiencing complex social issues resulting in a significant impact on their lives. As 'specialist organisations', applicants need to demonstrate the following:

  • In-depth services, rather than short-term or one-off support.
  • Holistic and person-centred services.
  • Personal plans in the form of written or electronic records of every person being supported, noting progress against activities.

Grants can be used to support any costs which further the charity's purpose, including building reserves and meeting core costs.

There will be an information webinar on 12 January 2023 to discuss the fund.

The deadline to apply is 3 March 2023, for decisions by 14 July 2023.

 

How To Apply

The deadline to apply is 3 March 2023 (5pm). Notifications are expected by 14 July 2023.

There will be a funding webinar and Q&A on 12 January 2023.

Applicants must first complete an eligibility quiz. Then, they must fill in a short contact form and will receive an email to complete the online application form.

Full guidelines, a link to register for the webinar and eligibility quiz can be found on the Lloyd's Bank Foundation England and Wales website.
