UK-registered or exempt charities with an annual turnover of at least £50,000 can apply for grants normally worth £20,000 or more to support projects primarily in England, whose activities fall within the following three categories:
- care of and services for blind people;
- long-term care of people with learning disabilities either: in a residential care or supported living environment in a way that provides a family environment and wide choice of activities and lifestyle; or: by providing long-term day/employment activities;
- care of and services for people suffering from cancer and their families.
Project funding and, in certain circumstances, unrestricted core funding are available. Applications below £10,000 are excluded, and organisations with substantial free reserves or limited delivery experience are unlikely to succeed.
