Flexible Finance Fund

Aims/priorities: A package of funding support including grants and loans from the Recovery Loan Fund are available for Black and Racially Minoritised charities and social enterprises based in England who are improving people's lives or the environment they live in. 

Who can apply? Eligible organisations must:

Historic Houses Foundation

Aims/priorities: The objectives of the Foundation are to support the repair and conservation of rural historic buildings and structures located in England and Wales, including where appropriate their gardens, grounds and outbuildings

Funding is intended to support projects which are ready to proceed (i.e. can be started within 1-2 years) but which either do not qualify for funding from any of the mainstream sources or have been awarded only partial funding and require significant further funds to complete the resource package.

Cost of Living Grant

Aims/priorities: We know communities and grassroots groups have been impacted by the ongoing Cost of Living crisis. Even if the peak of the crisis has passed, many groups continue to experience a rise in demand for their services at the same time as a decline in income and rising costs. The Cost of Living Grant is for groups whose main activities are supporting some of the most vulnerable members of our society by providing them with the essentials, or simply providing a safe warm and welcoming space for those struggling to heat their homes during the winter.

Under 18s Better Starts Grant

Aims/priorities: The Asda Foundation believes that groups supporting under 18s are particularly in need of our support. The Under 18s Better Starts Grant is designed to support a broad range of activities for this age group, all of which can contribute towards empowering local community groups and improving the lives of children in the local area. This grant is for groups who support solely under 18s in your community (for example, school holiday clubs and youth groups).

Voicescape Community Fund

Aims/priorities:

The Voicescape Community Fund welcomes applications from grassroots community groups based in any of the ten boroughs of Greater Manchester. The Fund will focus on projects which support those most affected by the cost-of-living crisis, as well as projects that provide education and skills development.

Local groups understand how they can best work in their communities, so we don’t want to limit the type of request you can make as long as they meet one of the following fund priorities:

Smart Energy GB in Communities Fund Reopens for 2024 Funding

Aims/priorities: The funding is available to organisations that can help engage people and communities across Britain with information about how to get and use smart meters. Applications will be considered from regionally based organisations preferably with local networks that can deliver support to people in one of the target groups. This includes charities, housing associations and local authorities.

Projects need to address the fund’s objectives, which are to support those who might find it difficult to engage with the smart meter rollout.

Greene King IPA – Proud to Pitch In

Aims/priorities: This fund aims to support and promote grassroots sport within local communities by supporting people and projects that run sports activities that positively impact the local community and would tangibly benefit from funding.

Individuals may nominate a sports club or organisation to receive a cash grant to continue delivering sports activities.

Who can apply? The following types of organisations can be nominated:

Scops Arts Trust

Aims/priorities: The aim of the Trust is to give people of all ages the opportunities to access, participate in and enjoy the arts (particularly the performing arts), and support projects that widen access and have a lasting cultural impact on local communities.

Who can apply? The Trust mostly supports registered charities.

Applications will also be considered from social enterprises, community groups, and other third sector organisations, as long as they are formally constituted and have clear charitable purposes.
