Deadline: 20th January 2020 @ 9am
Homeless charities can apply for capital grants of up to £5,000 for projects that aim to help homeless people return to the community and enabling them to resume a normal life. Typically, such organisations may operate small or medium-sized residential or training facilities to assist homeless people. To be eligible to apply, the charity must have an annual turnover of under £1million and with ‘unrestricted reserves’ of under six months. Previously funded projects include the Booth Centre, an advice and activity centre for homeless people in Manchester, which received a grant of £1,500 to transform the centre with new lighting, a new water heater and new decoration; and a grant of £3,000 to the Amber Foundation to enable the Foundation to buy new bedroom furniture for their residential centre in Devon, where every year over 60 unemployed, homeless young people are able to rebuild their lives and gain the motivation, confidence, self-esteem and skills for independent living.
The closing date for applications is the 15th March 2020.
Registered charities (including Schools that are registered as charities for young people with disabilities) that work with disadvantaged children under the age of 25 can apply for funding of up to £10,000. Of particular interest are projects that provide opportunities for disadvantaged children and young people to fulfil their potential and educational activities that develop learning, motivation and skills. Projects could, for example, support special educational needs; address behavioural problems or promote citizenship; and parenting or life skills. Preference will be given to projects piloting new approaches where the outcomes will be disseminated to a wider audience. The funding is being made available through the Ironmongers Company’s grants programme. Although the grants are available within the UK preference is given to projects in inner London.
The next closing date for applications is the 31st July 2020.

Please take a look at this article and YouTube link. It is about Bubble and Squeak and produced by Echo Friends, both of which registered with Sobus. It’s really great to see Echo Friends finding its way after lots of discussion and thought and this could be something to help groups share their successes ….
We all need to take a short break from shopping for gifts and think about some of the problems occurring this time of the year. We particularly talk about food waste and social isolation, but this time we don’t focus only on the negative part, we are here to show you an inspiring story of young food waste warriors tackling these issues in their local communities
We’ve just produced our first video for our first charity, Bubble & Squeak, and our mission is to be able to produce story videos that will raise the profile of the groups we can help, and (especially) create, at the least, an initial new funding round – but we want our videos to be more than just one-off appeals; we want to create cornerstone (legacy) content that a charity can use for months if not years.
It is my pleasure to invite you to watch our video, and if you’ve any thoughts about it (http://bit.ly/food_waste_warriors), it would be great to hear them.
Also please help us to amplify the voices of these amazing young Changemakers by Sharing the video with your Friends, Family and Colleagues; that would be an invaluable help for us to “#SpreadTheWorld“.
