Grants of up to £35,000 Available to Refurbish Youth Service Delivery Areas (London)

Organisations that support young people can apply for one-off grants through the John Lyon’s Charity Refurbishment Fund to improve the spaces where they deliver services. The Fund provides Small Grants of up to £10,000 and Main Grants of up to £35,000, with total project costs capped at £100,000. Eligible applicants must be charities operating in one of the Charity’s nine boroughs, working primarily with children and young people up to the age of 25 (or up to 30 for those with disabilities). Priority is given to organisations with annual turnovers below £500,000, and schools are not eligible. The fund supports essential maintenance (e.g., rewiring, roof repairs), improvements to service areas like kitchens or communal rooms, upgrades to activity spaces, and accessibility enhancements, but excludes equipment purchases and refurbishments of non-service areas. Small Grant applications are accepted on a rolling basis and assessed six times per year, while Main Grant applications must be submitted by the 1st November 2026.
