Lloyds Bank Foundation is welcoming applications from collaborations led by small and local charities pushing for long-lasting change.
Under this programme, they will be focusing on key themes, which are:
- making the social security system work better for those facing the greatest challenges;
- making sure people facing complex issues have access to suitable accommodation;
- improving support and services for asylum seekers and refugees.
Please note that this funding cannot be used to fund direct delivery of services and is exclusively to support partnerships to influence locally and regionally.
Successful applicants will receive a flexible grant of £100,000 over two years, with the opportunity for an extension grant to continue their work.
Alongside the funding, charities will be able to access a breadth of tailored support for both your influencing work and collaborative working. This could include support to develop your influencing plans, enabling people with lived experience to engage with local decision-makers, or communications planning.
The deadline to send in your initial Expression of Interest is 5pm, 30 April 2025.
Find out more and apply for funding under Lloyds Bank Foundation local collaborations programme.
There will also be a pre-application webinar on 19 March. Register for the local collaborations programme webinar here.
