Local Innovation Partnerships Fund (LIPF)

Aims/priorities: The Local Innovation Partnerships Fund (LIPF) is designed to support the development and scaling of high-potential innovation clusters across the UK. It is designed to support both established clusters with a proven track record of innovation, and emerging clusters that are in earlier stages of development but have significant potential to generate economic value.

The primary objectives of the LIPF are to:

Active Travel Innovation Fund

Aims/priorities: The Active Travel Innovation Fund offers a share of £1 million in revenue funding to support small to medium-sized businesses and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in England. The fund aims to enable applicants to develop, deliver or scale interventions that increase walking, wheeling and cycling. Projects may involve innovative behaviour change initiatives, scaling proven solutions or developing new services that address gaps or opportunities in the sector.

National Lottery Community Fund - Health Inequities: Structural Racism and Discrimination Partnership

Aims/priorities: The funding is for 10 organisations to partner with the NLCF to work with:

  • People in their communities to reduce inequities caused by structural racism and discrimination.
  • NLCF and other partners to share learning, test new ideas, and shape future funding.

Partners will lead this work, bringing knowledge of health inequities and lived experience informed by their engagement with particular racialised communities.

Strategic Legal Fund

Aims/priorities: The Strategic Legal Fund (SLF) for migrant groups in the UK is a fund to support legal work in the UK that goes beyond securing justice for an individual and makes a significant contribution to law, practice and procedures to uphold and promote the rights of asylum seekers, refugees and migrants more generally.

The SLF aims to tackle injustices and inconsistencies in law and practice that disadvantage or discriminate against asylum seekers, refugees and migrants as a result of their migration status.

Hospice UK - Dying Matters Community Grants Programme

Aims/priorities: The funding aims to support a portfolio of arts and culture projects which work to open up conversations about dying, death and grief in new and creative ways at a grassroots level. The idea is to support hospices to build new partnerships, particularly with arts and cultural organisations.

Hospices need to be working with local groups/community organisations who can help the hospice to reach one of the groups who the hospice has traditionally struggled to support.
