Funding for Children Experiencing Disadvantage to Take a UK Holiday in 2026

This grants programme helps to provide opportunities for children aged 13 years or younger who face financial hardship, systemic inequity or disability to go on a short recreational holiday or outing they would not otherwise have the opportunity to experience. Priority is given to fun and new experiences, such as camping, adventure activities, or visits to the seaside. Trips must take place within the UK, Isle of Man or Channel Islands.

Youth groups and UK based non-profits with an organisational income below £2 million and schools in the UK can apply for a one-off grant of between £500 and £3,000 (an increase of £250 for 2026) to support a day trip or a longer residential of up to a week for groups of children aged 13 years or younger.

Trips should be to low-cost places. Trips to high-cost places such as expensive theme parks, musicals or sporting events will not be considered as the funder wishes to support as many applications as possible. The average cost per child per day in 2025 was £64, though higher costs will be covered for groups with children who need additional support to meet their additional needs.

Applications should be received at least six weeks before the date of the trip.

This fund is open for applications three times a year and applications are accepted based on when the trip is happening.

Applications for trips between 12 January and 30 April 2026 open 1 December 2025 and close 10 March 2026. For more information, please visit Holiday grants - Henry Smith

The Inspiring Growth Fund

Aim of the Fund

The community sector has faced many challenges in recent years with a global pandemic and more recently a cost-of-living crisis. The sector has continued to support communities, and demand is increasing for their services, yet their costs are rising, and many community sector organisations are constantly firefighting to meet the demand of their services, and source funding to deliver.

The pandemic showed us the importance of digital inclusion and connectivity. The pace of change and progress in digital technology, and the opportunities (and challenges) that digital brings, is vast. However, lack of digital skills, together with access, confidence, trust and motivation issues present barriers for many, not least the community and voluntary sector.

Unless organisations in the sector become more digitally able, they risk being left behind.

The aim of the Inspiring Growth Fund is to help organisations in the community sector to take that time and space and increase their digital capacity, with a particular focus on building on and availing of the opportunities that AI (Artificial Intelligence) may bring to better support communities, as well as to ensure that the sector is not left behind.

What we hope to achieve

We want to fund activity or projects that will enable significant change to occur in the digital capability of the voluntary or community sector. This change must result in demonstrated benefits being delivered by organisations (directly or indirectly) to the individuals or communities they support.

Fund criteria

Grants will be offered between £5,000 to £10,000 for up to two years.

For more information please visit The Inspiring Growth Fund - Community Foundation Northern Ireland

Programme with Grant to Engage More Women and Girls in Sport (Northern Ireland)

Engage Her is a volunteer-supported programme designed to increase grassroots clubs/groups’ understanding and knowledge on how to help engage women and girls from their local area.

With funding from the National Lottery, the programme is being delivered as part of Sport NI’s Be Seen, Be Heard, Belong campaign, which aims to level the playing field and ensure that women and girls have the same opportunities as men and boys in sport.

Through training and resources, clubs will be supported to develop a plan to engage women and girls within their sport, to challenge attitudes and remove barriers to participation and to increase capacity to provide opportunities for women and girls activities. Each club will receive an unrestricted grant of £2,000 to support the implementation of their engagement plan.

Not-for-profit organisations, including charities, community groups and traditional sports clubs, based in Northern Ireland can apply.

Priority will be given to applications from organisations that operate in and support people from areas of high deprivation. 

Commenting, Judith Rankin, National Manager for Sported NI said:

“We know from our own research that there are significant barriers for women and girls in taking part in sport. A lack of confidence is high on that list, as is a lack of awareness of the opportunities and poor past experiences. We see the increased demand to be active and participate. And through this programme, we plan to address some of the issues head-on so that the playing field is levelled.”

The deadline for expressions of interest is 8 December 2025. For more information please visit Engage Her - Sported

CFI Cross Border Partnerships Funding

Safefood is inviting applications for funding for its Community Food Initiatives (CFI) Cross Border Partnerships Funding.

The Community Food Initiatives programme aims to empower people in low-income communities to make healthier food choices. It funds local projects that improve access to healthy and safe food using a community development approach. Since 2010, over 65,000 people have taken part in a Community Food Initiative activity.

The Community Food Initiatives Programme 2025-28 is funded by Safefood and administered by SECAD Partnership CLG.

Safefood is an all-island implementation body set up under the British-Irish Agreement (1999) to promote awareness and knowledge of food safety and healthy eating on the island of Ireland.

CFI Cross Border Partnerships

Four cross-border partnerships will be funded focusing on low-income areas across the island of Ireland. A total of 8 organisations will be chosen with 2 organisations (one each from Ireland and Northern Ireland) working in partnership to deliver programmes over a 4-year period.

The two organisations involved in each partnership will deliver one programme per year. The two organisations need to develop and plan the programme and all its elements in partnership.  The programme will be co-designed by the participating organisations and in consultation with their local communities, to address specific local needs.

The programme will involve the delivery of a small project by each partner and must include at least one joint activity between the two organisations involved in each partnership. For example, one organisation hosts an event or initiative that includes participants from the partner organisation.  These projects should take a programme approach where participants are supported over a period of time.

Your organisation must have identified a partner before an application for funding is submitted.  One organisation in the partnership will act as the lead partner. This organisation will be the primary point of contact between the partners and SECAD Partnership.  The application will be submitted by the lead partner.

An overview of CFI Cross Border Partnerships can be viewed through clicking on this link: https://youtu.be/1F_hULvE2C8.
