What we fund

Charities must demonstrate that they make a positive difference to the lives of people who are socially excluded and disadvantaged, and that their primary charitable purpose addresses one or more of the following issues:

Health including mental health issues or a disability

We support charities which create opportunities for people with health issues including mental health or a physical or learning disability to live and work independently.

Homelessness

We help charities which provide accommodation and support for people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness and support their return into society.

People leaving institutional care to live independently

We help charities providing support and accommodation for people who are getting back into society after leaving care or prison.

Addiction and recovery

We support charities providing education and recovery for people who misuse alcohol and drugs and have gambling problems.

Loneliness and isolation

We help charities providing support to people who are vulnerable, people experiencing loneliness and people with carer responsibilities.

Employment, literacy, financial literacy and debt problems

We support employment and learning programmes for people disadvantaged by poor education and literacy including financial literacy and debt problems.

Domestic violence

We support charities who help prevent and protect people from abusive relationships.

Human Rights

We help charities who promote and protect human rights issues (from modern slavery to sexual exploitation), and charities who challenge discrimination and promote equality, diversity and inclusion.
