The Charles Hayward Foundation is inviting applications from UK-registered charities with an annual income between £350,000 and £4 million. Grants of £15,000 to £25,000 per year are available for up to three years to support projects that help prevent criminal activity and rehabilitate offenders.
Priority will be given to projects that provide early intervention for families, diversionary activities for young people at risk of offending, and rehabilitation support focused on accommodation, mentoring and employment. The Foundation is particularly interested in initiatives that support victims of domestic abuse and criminal exploitation, and those that offer effective alternatives to custody.
Smaller charities with an income below £350,000 may be eligible for the Foundation’s separate Small Grant programme.
Deadline: 5 February 2027
