Grants of up to £35,000 are available for charitable organisations working to improve the lives of people experiencing homelessness. The grants are available to support new and untested ideas and projects that could lead to wider changes in policy or practice in addressing homelessness. The grants can be used to support organisations’ day-to-day running costs as well as funding for specific projects or activities. Within the programme there is a strong focus on new and innovative approaches to delivering services and developing organisations. Priority is given to projects that focus on homelessness among people involved in the criminal justice system, people affected by migration, and young people and women with specific support needs. The funding is available through the London Homelessness Foundation Grants Programme. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis and reviewed every three months.

Small charities and community groups in England can apply now for grants of £500–£2,000 to support community-led projects tackling local issues. The Grassroots Grants programme, delivered by the environmental regeneration charity Groundwork, supports organisations with annual income under £25,000, prioritising those serving marginalised communities and areas in the top 15% of deprivation. Previous projects have ranged from youth clubs and food-growing schemes to mental health workshops and activities reducing isolation among older residents. Funding can cover staff or volunteer expenses, equipment and materials, core running costs like rent and utilities, training, and consultancy for organisational development. Applications can be submitted at any time between January and September 2026. Decisions will usually be made within 10 weeks of the application being submitted.

Grants of up to £500 are available for individuals, community groups, schools, and other not-for-profit organisations to encourage people across the UK to get involved with outdoor activities and experiences. The funding is provided by the Alpkit Foundation, which aims to break down barriers to outdoor participation by supporting projects that promote diversity and inclusion in the outdoors, as well as participation, education, conservation and protection of the natural environment, and health and wellbeing. The grants aim to provide some level of support rather than fully funding projects. Applications can be submitted at any time and are reviewed every two months. There is no limit to how many times an applicant may apply, but applications should be submitted at least three months before the project start date.
