Aims/priorities: Following the release of its 2022-26 strategy, ‘Building a Better Future’ the Foundation has announced the launch of a Specialist Funding Programme to continue supporting small and grassroots organisations across England and Wales.

- Asylum seekers and refugees

- Homelessness/vulnerably housed

The funding is for organisations supporting people (17 years and older) who are experiencing complex social issues resulting in a significant impact on their lives. As 'specialist organisations', applicants need to demonstrate the following:
- In-depth services, rather than short-term or one-off support.
- Holistic and person-centred services.

Grants can be used to support any costs which further the charity's purpose, including building reserves and meeting core costs.
