Aims/priorities: Research and Development (R&D) for Individuals is a time-limited funding priority within the Developing your Creative Practice (DYCP) programme. It has been introduced while the Developing Your Creative Practice (DYCP) fund is paused until April 2026.

Aims/priorities: The grant programme will be delivered through four individually biddable thematic funding streams, referred to as ‘pillars’:

Aims/priorities: The Amazon Literary Partnership supports non-profit literary organisations from all communities in the UK and Republic of Ireland that empower writers to create, publish, learn, teach, experiment, and thrive. Offered once a year, the grants support innovative groups that amplify diverse voices and strive not only for a lasting impact on writers' lives, the literary and publishing communities but also the broader community.

Aims/priorities: GM=EqAl, as part of the Live Well Community Fund wants to put trust and decision-making where they belong: in communities. These micro grants are part of our wider pilot, supporting people across Greater Manchester to connect, create and care for one another. 

This fund is designed for geographically dispersed and intersectional groups, especially those whose voices are often missed by locality-based funding. These are communities whose characteristics may include one or more of the following:

Aims/priorities: The fund, provided by Ofgem Energy Redress Scheme and piloted under the scheme’s Carbon Emissions Reductions priority, aims to build the capacity of the community energy sector and deliver impactful renewable energy projects. It seeks to demonstrate how a just transition to net zero can benefit everyone.

The funding is intended to enable greater community ownership and social benefit from the historic growth in renewable energy over the next few years as the UK transitions to net zero.

Aims/priorities: This fund will support projects that deliver all of the following:

Aims/priorities: The Carbon Emissions Reduction Fund (CERF) supports initiatives principally aimed at reducing the climate change impact associated with energy use, which relate to Ofgem’s regulated areas of energy generation, distribution, supply and use.

The funding is for projects that demonstrate measurable and lasting reductions in the carbon intensity of energy use and accelerate the transition to net zero. Projects must also have a realistic prospect of delivering broadly replicable benefits to existing and future energy consumers.

Aims/priorities: The priorities of the Main and Small Grants schemes are to:

• Support energy consumers in vulnerable situations.
• Deliver benefits to the types of consumers that were negatively impacted by the specific issues that triggered the redress payment.

Who can apply? Registered charities in England, Scotland and Wales that are registered with the Energy Redress Scheme and have passed the due diligence process can apply to the open funding rounds.

Aims/priorities: The funding aims to support the modernisation and improvement of village halls, so that they are fit for purpose and can provide activities which seek to achieve one or more of the following outcomes for their communities:
