This year's Priorities
2026
Grant rounds 1 and 2
People experiencing or at risk of homelessness
Focussing on projects that provide life skills, including food education, healthy living and budgeting. Priority will be given to people leaving the armed forces, leaving prison or care. We don’t fund salaries for charity staff unless specifically employed for the project concerned.
Grant rounds 3 and 4
Unpaid carers
Projects that provide therapeutic support, including healthy eating and outdoor activities. To be eligible, a project must focus exclusively on unpaid adult (18 or over) carers as its beneficiaries, without extending services to other groups. We don’t fund salaries for charity staff unless specifically employed for the project concerned.
More specific criteria will be added early in 2026.
