The 1001 Critical Days Foundation offers multi-year grants to UK registered charities supporting babies during the first 1001 days – from pregnancy to age two.

Projects could include:

  • Infant feeding support

  • Parenting and parent–infant relationship programmes

  • Perinatal mental health support

  • Support for dads, carers, and non-birthing partners

  • Work with communities facing marginalisation or discrimination

Charities can apply for £20,000 to £80,000 per year (up to £100,000 per year for five years).

Deadline: 5pm, 19 December 2025
